Our dog has "hot spots". He has asthma, but not a food allergy. Dogs can be allergic to the same kind of things that people can. This is what our vet told us: (1) try to give your puppy one tablet of Benadryl or generic brand per day, receiving (2) Benadryl spray for fast relief, or cortesone (3) regular injections of puppies. In addition, for the protection of the chip very well: many dogs are allergic to fleas. Make sure that you get, however, because some of them are toxic to cats.
We have found that shots cortesone work only for our puppies. He will periodically during the warmer months. It is bad because too much can cortesone shorter life of your dog. But we prefer our puppies to take to a shorter life to live without the pain of a longer, in which sdepends on half of the painful agony of itching.
In any case, try, tablets Bendryl first spray, however. However, if "hot spots" seem to never disappear, even in winter, a food allergy. In this case, your veterinarian will you need to put your dog on a strict diet to see how they (you must react to ensure no hiding food from other animals, too). Then you can give your vet food for your dog should not be allergic.
At the vet for a prescription to save?
You can allergies. Try your diet. If the food you now feeding them with corn, without seeking. It may take several attempts before a find that makes the difference. Give the new food for several weeks to see changes.
Try using the EPI shampoo.Also Soothe a cortisone cream for his vet.Bis Hons can not get to the heat, it is necessary to preserve, rather than in the tall grass ed upright. The cream should be used sparingly, but does the job.
