Question by ctmom05: Canine skin allergy symptoms-how to help?
I have a dog with itching problem. I use canine advanitx on her and have also been giving her supplements for skin and coat.

I understand that benadryl(diphenhydramine) helps provide relief. Drs Foster/Smith sells benadryl in 50 mg caps. That is plenty for a person, it seems like a lot for an animal.

Ever sense I’ve been having problems with my allergies again over the passed month or so and I’ve been having to take steroids to get rid of that rash that I got for some reason that we still haven’t figured out.

I managed to get rid of it with the steroid cream and pills but we still don’t know what was causing it. We even got me re tested for my allergies but the doctor can’t seem to figure it out.

Caney’s got some seriously dry skin! I bathed her a few days ago with a new dog shampoo (which claims to be gentle and hypoallergenic) and since then her skin has been bright pink and her coat SO dry and course; it even feels brittle. And she’s always had THE SOFTEST fur! =(

Is there anything I can put on her to help moisturize her skin and coat and give her some relief from the itching?? Any product or remedy that you can recommend, I’m all ears. It would probably need to be something very gentle (since she’s already got allergies), and preferably something that doesn’t require me bathing her again (although I will if I absolutely must).
