Saint Bernard General Discussions / Help - Tbone is itchy!
« on: June 29, 2006, 09:50:35 pm »
Our beautiful 3 yr old (long hair) saint bernard, Tbone, has started getting hot spots (on his tail only) and is just generally itchy all over, all the time. Vet treated hot spots first time with steroids/antibiotics - second hot spot we self treated with Maalox and Gold Bond (it works!).
However, the poor guy is just haunted by itches - he itches his back, side of face, feet, under his back legs... he can never just relax.
We shave him in summer and this seemed to have begun recently after this years first clip. No fleas, he's an indoor dog. We are baffled and want desperately to get him relief.
Can anyone tell us:
1) safe to use benedryl and if so, how much (T weighs 170 lbs)
2) What is a good EFA product (3 & 6) to give him?
3) Anyone have any home remedies to relieve the itchies?
Thanks!!
