[NAGDU] Nose owie

Wed Oct 11 10:38:58 UTC 2017

	One of my colleague's veterinarian recommended Nutrigena T-Gel, a
human shampoo designed to treat eczema, for her dog's itchiness. We now use
it, as well! It works wonderfully, gives the dogs a nice shiny coat, and
smells pretty good, too! Walgreen's also sells a generic brand for a few
dollars less. It works just as well but doesn't smell as good, having a bit
of a chemical fragrance.

Peace!

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.
