I have to go to the Vet
again cuz I have the itchies. I have
scratched my face so hard I have little cuts all over and I have licked my legs
so much I how have hot spots. I don’t
like having the itchies.
Mom tries putting tea
tree oil spray on my hot spots but I don’t like it much. I know when she picks up that green spray
bottle I’m going to get squirted so I run and hide.
When Mom called the Vet
people the lady at the telephone said I probably had an allergic to fleas and
that I should use Advantix. We don’t
like putting chemical on us and our Pet Protector says it keeps fleas and ticks
off of dogs.
Flea allergics is the
kind dogs get the most but dogs can have other allergics just like people. We can have allergics to pollen, grass,
cleaning products, mold, dust mites and other stuff.
Until I get my appointment, I can take a Benadryl. We don’t like taking Benadryl cuz that’s a
chemical that goes on the inside but if it stops the itchies and I only have to
take it a little, it could be okay.
Mom also started giving
us fish oil cuz it’s got some Omega-3 stuff which is good for lots of things
and it’s more natural. I wish we could
have real tuna fish but that’s not happening.
Mom noticed that I was
licking and scratching way more and what is normal and then one day she saw I
had bloods on my face from scratching.
We can’t always tell our
humans when we don’t feel good so here are some ways your humans can tell if
you might have allergics.
1. Lots of scratching.
2. Lots of licking.
3. Red patches and
irritated skin.
4. Licking or chewing
feet.
5. Rubbing face in the
carpet or on furniture.
6. Rubbing or scratching
ears.
7. Coughing or sneezing.
8. Breathing hard.
9. Lack of energy.
Having the itchies is not
fun. I’m not looking forward to going to
the vet because she is going to make me step on the scale and if I haven’t lost
some pounds I’ll be in trouble but I sure would like to get rid of these
itchies. I hope she can make them go
away.
Do you get itchies and if
you do, how do you make them stop.
Your scratching friend,
