Unfortunately
I am the owner of a GSP who suffers from seasonal itchiness.
You can almost set your clock by the date on which she starts
scratching and nibbling. Treatment in the past has involved antihistamine
and short term steroid use, along with antibiotics to reduce
the original inflamation. Not this year though! At the first
signs of it recurring I started giving her an antihistamine tablet
(Piriton) each day and spraying her skin three times a day with
Canine Skin Care. After a week I stopped the tablets, her skin
being much less inflamed, but carried on with the spraying reducing
to twice a day for a few days, then once a day. The response
has been absolutely amazing - her skin never became so damaged
that infection set in and has been kept under sufficient control
not to have veterinary treatment at all. My vet is as pleased
as I am! I'm currently using Canine Skin Care about twice a week,
that's all. If you have a dog with similar problems I'd recommend
you give it a try."
