Allergies? What have you used? What works?

Charlie gets pretty bad seasonal allergies... We woke up this morning to find a human fist-sized bald spot right above his tail chewed raw and bleeding, as well as bald patches on his chest from scratching.

I just give him a benedryl as needed, and it seems to REALLY help. In your case though it sounds a little more drastic, so I don't know if benedryl alone would do the trick.

Lacey takes Temaril-P. She started with a 'summer' allergy last summer. It works if you can deal with the side effects. Depending on how many pills she takes , she drinks and pees more. Also, she's always hungry. I hope I can get her back off of them soon. Last summer she got by with Hydroxyzine. She is way passed Benadyl working.
