Doggies

Glad the scratching is easing up some Gayle.

My vet also told me to pierce an omega-3 vitamin and put it on Reuger's dog food. It helps if they have dry skin.....or you can buy Sciece Diet dog food that is for sensitive skin and it has it already in it.

I'm glad to hear that they're better. I can always tell if it's Reuger's food because he bites at his paws for some reason. I hope by changing back to their food that it quits......I know that the scratching just drives me crazy!!!

OH YES! The itching has definitely stopped!! YAY!

Gary thinks that giving them a bath and reapplying the advantage is what did it - but I DO NOT THINK SO. We took them to the groomers and applied advantage the day before we left for Oklahoma (last Thursday) and the itching was going on before and continued after this. I thought maybe they had some fleas and that going to the groomers would take care of that, but it did not. I do know that cutting them too short can cause them to itch, but we left them a little longer than usual, so I don't think the cut was making them itch.

It was Tuesday of this week that I gave them both a bath, reapplied (a smaller amount) of Advantage (cause it is supposed to keep working even after a bath) and on the same day I took away the new dry food. So, Gary thinks it was the bath and new Advantage, but I don't think so, I think it was the food.

They are both eating the old dry food, and there is almost no itching, so I think it was the food, and if not, well it really doesn't matter.

Whatever the cause was I'm glad that they're better!!!!

I'm glad they're better, too. Itchy dogs are uncomfortable for everybody!
