Our small golden mutt, Ranger, has been biting and scratching her whole
body a lot lately and we are noticing red areas on her skin. We are
suspecting allergies but we don’t know the source or whether it really
is allergies.
Nothing has changed in her diet or environment. She seems to be eating
grass more lately but of course we try to stop her. She is on flea and
tick
preventatives so we are assuming bugs are not the problem.
Her vet suggested we give her Benadryl (1.5 tablets every 8 hours–she
is
about 40 pounds) and we have been doing so but it doesn’t seem to be
helping.
We are planning to go to the vet to have tests done.
