Old and itchy? Can't use your rear legs to scratch like you used to and instead chose rubbing up on the walls and a $1700 light beige sofa that further ensures some people that bitch about anything hate you more? Here's the fix.... (Vet approved) Benedryl. 1mg/pound 2X daily. So you can buy the generic stuff at DG. Of course they were out (go figure) so I had to get the baby Benedryl. 12.5mg/5ml. So at 59 pounds+/-. one cap full. --->25 ml. Twice daily. I looked into this to make sure, and the vet was right. I'm not gonna call it a miracle drug, but after 3 days, she quit the constant walking against the walls (and every other damn thing to itch herself) but she is also not as whiney. She relaxes more. And they say it decreases inflammation. It's safe. So if you have an old dog... just make sure you do the math right. Since DG only had cherry flavor, I just mixed it with a can of doggy crack... Starkist in oil. The crack wins every time. Cherry tuna! "Mmmm-mmm good" Edit: Clarification: The 12.5mg/5ml I wrote above, is the diphenhydramine content. The active ingredient. 1mg/lb of that stuff.
That would be Muttley back in the day. People would see her and ask "Does she bite?" No, but she'll kiss you to death.
Yeah, I've known about the risk for years and am vigilant about excluding it from the house. A buddy's dog got into some sugar free candy and went into a coma and died <12 hours later. https://www.google.com/search?q=xyl...IHCAkQABiABKgCCLACAQ&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8
