Itchy skin

Question
My boston has a long history of itchy skin. Nothing seems to work, right now her front feet are killing her, any suggestions?  Thanks

Answer
Hi Darin. Your dog could be suffering from a number of things from allergies to mites.  Benedril could help, but I suggest that you consult with your vet and in the meantime see if he/she will prescribe a medicated shampoo for your dog.  If it allergies, the medicated shampoo won't fix the problem, but will help keep your dog's skin for getting infected from all the scratching.

Good luck, and please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any additional questions.  Sincerely, Penny D.
