Answer
Hello, I'm NOT  a doctaor or a vet but I have had allergie problems with my three dogs assorted sexes/ages/breeds! Most recinitly my 9 month old spayed female boston terrier was very itchy and scratched the fur off her face around her eyes and had irratated arm pits as well, from my previus experiance with my jack russell terriers allergy problmes( he was 7 mnoths old when they first showed up) my vet had reccoemdn BENADRYL 25 ML caplets once or twice a day...one at a time...these are people allergy pills in a pink adn white box in any drug store most of the time in walmarts and grocery stores as well pick up a box asap. These are currently keeping my two small dogs (bos terrier and jack terrier) from scratching themselfs apart...One each) every morning when we get up works wonders for them. I assume this food isnt hypo allergtic...it contains deer meat or something of that sort am I correct? This isnt best if they are being bothered with allergys. Blue makes a fish and potatoe diet I changed my two small dogs to this they are doing great and with the Benadryl pills both small dogs arent itchy half as much and my boston terriers facal hair is grown back perfectly within 12 days! Here is a link to the food mentioned: http://www.petsmart.com/global/product_detail.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=8455244418...


I will help you find a different fish/potatoe diet if this isnt avalibel around your area. Also to ease the itchiness you can give them cool water baths every few days I was told to sue Nizorl human dander shampoo from drug stores/walmart ect ect on the jack russell in the bath.... the downside is you msut leave the soap on for at lest 5 minutes before rinsing it off for it to relive them so if your doing this its best to be washing them in the tub or a large bin so you can hold your hand on the dog to keep them in the bath while being able to sit down waiting to rinse it off...it does work, the spelling might not be right on the shampoo but its in a white with purple box and only a letter would be off it will be around other dander shampoos.....the name is correct for the pills but remember 25 ml I dont know if they make higher doses but my vet made eprfect sure I was getting the 25 ml ones when my jack russell was attacked by allergies.Best of luck to you and your dogs if you need anything else feel free to email again.
