Question
I have a 13 year old boykin spaniel with bad skin allergies.  She takes all the drugs the vet thinks she can take without killing her (and more).  She still scratches at her face and moans pitifully.  Can you suggest anything I can use to spray or rub on her that will help the itching?  Thanks, she's my baby!  Kay

Answer
Kay,
I have done a little research about your problem since I last wrote you.
A tea or infusion made from Chamomile (check at your local herbal or health store for this) is a good after-bath rinse for dogs with skin conditions and skin allergies.
Thought I'd let you know! I hope this works for you!
