Daryl, 
Usually the itching slows down after about an hour. I really noticed when it started working when we were in Tennessee.  About an hour to 90 mins after giving it to her she stopped itching so much.

>> For those whose dogs respond well to OTC allergy medication, what works? Benadryl doesn't work for my dog. I've heard of Allegra, but I can only find HUGE 180mg pills, which seems extreme. Claritin looks insanely expensive, but I found an off-brand that gives me 365 10mg tablets...
>> I started putting coconut oil in Jenny's ears to deal with the remnants of an ear infection, but the day after I do this, her ears are really really hot. So either she responds to the coconut oil, or simply doesn't need it right now... thoughts?
>> 
>> Thanks a ton!
