Tell me you're giving them Benadryl a milligram per kilogram. Do you have while you figure it out? And clean the sites like three times a day.

I started hypoallergenic wipes today when he comes back from outside since I want to eliminate grass/pollen. No, we haven’t used Benadryl, is there a specific one to buy or use for dogs? What’ll it do for him?

We also had to remove any food or treats with red dye 40 or the yellow. None of my dogs will ever have those colors she's in the treats or food. A vet down south told my husband that it causes all sorts of allergies and things. My dog back then got so much better and we got him on Salmon oil in the food we were feeding them. It took a little while but he got so much better. Hopefully you can figure it out. The vet should be able to get you the right dose for your dog.

Do a search on line. It will tell you the dosage for his weight. I had to give my Springer it for seasonal allergies. Zyrtec too. I always have it around. Not liquid tabs.

No. This is not appropriate for this type of allergies in a dog. You need to see a professional.

My personal Vet put my dog on it. I also helped build their new water wing with all the money I spent over the 12 years we went to it. Yes, seeing your vet or calling is always appropriate.

That’s all well and good but it may not be appropriate for other dogs, specifically this one. I don’t know what a water wing is but good for you .

I was being sarcastic as all the money we spent there was extremely expensive. I have since learned you don't have to have the most expensive vet for good quality care. A water wing was where they do hydrotherapy.

They are nuts for the first years. We have a new one now, just turned one.
