In life there are always little ups and downs. We were doing good on the cancer battle, we still are. But we went for a walk yesterday and something gave her the itches. So she itched all night. Her little ears, her tummy, her arm pits, and I gave her Benedryl. By this morning she had three doses. 25 mg every 8 hours. However, it kept it from getting worse and spreading. Last year when this happened, she got little blistered in her ears but she couldn’t sleep and she’d rest a little then itch again.
We did all the allergy things. I had Cupcake, the big itch bump for 16 years.
Check for bug bites.
Give Benedryl
Cool water bath with anti allergen shampoo
Benedryl
A 50/50 mix of hydrocortisone and Neosporan plus pain on the hot spots
Little ice packs on the hot spots
A little straw with frozen water in it and an eraser end in it, to do inside ears.
More Benedryl
Some thing good to help scratch that doesn’t leave marks. One of those rubber things you put on your hand works.
Of nothing helps Benedryl shot from the vet or prednisone or both.
Cupcake lived on hydroxezine one summer and Benedryl the next summer and still it would only be a dull roar, she still itched.
This morning the vet clinic was very nice and got us in for prednisone.
Resting and sleeping now 2 p.m.
Our ear with crusty allergy blisters
