I was just coming here to post that Disney is miserable from her allergies when I saw this thread.

Disney is scratching herself, and us, crazy. She needs a hair cut badly but when I have her groomed when her allergies are bad she will scratch raw places on her body since there is no hair to buffer her nails. So now I have a miserable, scratchy abominable snowman for a dog.

She is taking a half a Tavist a day but I need to get some Fish Oil Capsules to put on her food. Last year the vet gave me a bottle and told me to pierce the capsule with a needle and squirt the fish oil over her food. He said it would help condition her skin and coat and keep it from being so dry and itchy. Between the Tavist, fish oil and twice a month baths with Epi-Soothe shampoo I finally got her allergies under control last spring. Guess I better go buy the fish oil and more shampoo quickly.
