[QUOTE="donna723, post: 518774, member: 1883"] Is he only itchy in the one spot? It could be a "hot spot". They can also get yeast infections and fungal infections on their skin. And of course this is allergy season for dogs too just like it is for people. The little pink Benadryl tablets can be given to dogs twice a day if necessary - it won't clear up the skin problems but it will stop the itching, and if they're not biting and scratching as much it will heal faster. I give Ragan the Allergy Queen a 25 mg Benadryl tablet every morning with her other pills and it helps a lot. The dosage rule is 1 mg of Benadryl for each pound of the dogs' weight. Ragan weighs about 22 pounds so one 25 mg tablet is close enough. You can give it twice a day but don't give two at once - give one in the morning and one at night. If it doesn't clear up pretty soon though, I'd have the vet look at it. [/QUOTE]
