Ever have an itch, that you just can't satisfy? I have been itching since April 22, 2008. I don't know why, it seems to be getting worse. At first, I thought perhaps it was ticks or fleas and had to have a bath. I wrote about the day I had a dog bath here. The bath didn't solve my problems. Actually, I cannot find any ticks or fleas on me at all. Then I purchased Vetscription Hot Spot skin remedy with benadene in it. You are suppose to shave your hair and apply it to your bald skin. See, I didn't want to shave my hair because it is so beautiful. I smeared it on my skin over my hair, and it made my dog hair matt up really bad. Then I had to get brushed again, shave a bit, and yet another bath!
A neighbor of mine suggested I might have dog allergies. He said his veterinarian said you can give a dog 1 mg/per lb. of benadryl short term for dog allergies. I checked out what he was saying, and dogs can take benadryl. Although, I am a little leery about taking benadryl. It will make me sleepy, and I really would rather be on top of my game. Perhaps I have fleas but I just can't see them. Sometimes they can be sneaky little devils. I used to be on K9 Advantix, and I didn't itch then. I ran out of K9 Advantix about 2 months ago and need to get back on it. It is so expensive though, but yesterday I found a way to save a lot of money on it, and wrote about that here. I ordered some today and it should be on it's way tomorrow. If that doesn't work, I will have to go to the veterinarian. Yuck.
