[NAGDU] Nose owie

[S L Johnson]

Tracy:

My vet said she is seeing a lot more allergies this year.  She has 
recommended that I give Eva, who  is 55 pounds, 2 Benadryl, total of 50 mgs, 
twice a day.  It makes Eva a bit spaced out so I only give it to her once I 
am home.  My vet said other non-drowsy allergy meds will work too.  Check 
with your vet about dosage.  My vet said Zertec and Clairton are one pill 
once a day for a dog Eva's size.  Sometimes a moisturizing conditioning 
shampoo will help.  I got a nice antiseptic pet spray and an anti-itch spray 
from a pet supply website.  Eva is very itchy and my sinuses and asthma are 
horrible this year.  Good luck.  I for one cannot wait for the first deep 
frost so Eva and I can feel better from the bad allergy season.

Tracy,

I swear more than half of the dogs I know in this area are
experiencing more severe allergy symptoms than usual right now. Not
really sure what it is, but I'm assuming it's something relating to
the unusual weather.

I second the suggestion of coconut oil, and a bath might not be a
terrible idea to help get rid of whatever is causing Krokus to be
itchy. Just rinsing him with water might help too.

I can't remember if you give fish oil or not, but if you do,
increasing the dose for a while would be beneficial.
