I am sorry to hear about your dog! I would recommend the Duoxo Calm line of products, https://www.douxo.com/us/douxo-solutions/douxo-calm , a fatty acid supplement such as Welactin, and I would talk to your vet about an over the counter antihistamine such as Benadryl or Zyrtec https://www.petcoach.co/search/?query=can%20i%20give%20benadryl https://www.petcoach.co/canigive/dog/zyrtec/.

Allergies can be very frustrating to manage since there are many causes (flea bites, food, contact, inhaled). The easiest cause to resolve is to treat Poli and the environment for fleas. Discuss antihistamine use, hydrolyzed diets, allergy testing and food elimination trials with your vet to rule out other causes. An e-collar (cone) can be used to prevent excessive licking or chewing. A colloidal oatmeal bath may also soothe itchy skin and an essential fatty acid supplement, such as DermCaps or EicosaCaps, may promote healthy skin and coat.

Hello. Honestly, I recommend either Nordic Naturals or Bayer Free Form Snip Tips. Both of these are highly recommended by veterinary dermatologists, too. You will need to call other veterinarians to see who carries Cytopoint. It is an excellent product & most of my clients love the convenience of only needing a simple injection once ever 6-8 weeks to control their pet's allergies. Thanks for using Boop by Petco.

It sounds like you may need a prescription strength medicine to help your dog become more comfortable. Your vet will need to examine your dog to ensure they are otherwise healthy (and to start a valid client/ patient/ vet relationship to legally dispense medicine) and then will decide which medicine would work best. There are newer products such as Apoquel and Cytopoint which may be appropriate. Your vet may also suggest an eye ointment to apply. You are welcome to request a consultation with one of the Boop by Petco veterinarians to prepare for your vet visit.

Riley definitely sounds quite uncomfortable. The best medications available to prevent and address itching and scratching are prescription only, but I assure you are much more effective at controlling the issue than Benadryl. Based on the distribution of the scratching, I believe it is possible Riley could be suffering from a food allergy. You should consider placing her on a new diet with a brand new protein. Many of the prescription only diets contain single proteins (meaning there is no by products of any other meats at all). Your veterinarian will be able to provide you with information on these products, and issue you a prescription to the pharmacy of your choice to purchase it. In terms of addressing the itching right away, your vet should prescribe a medication call Apoquel or Cytopoint. One of them is a daily oral while the other is a month injectable. An e-collar might also be necessary at first in order to prevent Riley from causing any more damage to herself. If you
