Just an update...I bought some stuff thats not Piriton but AllerTek with the active ingredients being
Cetirizine dihydrochloride...I keep reading that is OK but still a tad concerned......is it OK? I will ask the vet as well...although she is not bad I do not want her to get worse and a point of sore skin..still think its pollen from grass as its not long flared up again and its only one of my dogs.  I now am going to attemt to bath them ALL!!!!  WET WET WET...comes to mind!! :innocent:

Try shampoo with oatmeal or aloe in it, really good for sore skin, I use these on sensitive skin dogs ll the time, and make sure you get all the shampoo off the one with the problem

Just showered them, well 2 out of the 3, used dog shampoo but I honestly found the best one was one Plumbs made, it was with goat milk and I could hold the bar and rub them.....I will give the dog with the itch some extra fish oil, we often add scrambled egg or pilchards etc.....she looks OK but I can see she keeps itching!! bedding is on the line too and I have just commented on my Facebook that now I am more wet and  hairy than they are.......just got to wash our Yellow Lab, she appears not to want a shower but enjoyed her early mud bath on our walk!! :innocent:

Citirizene is a strong AH - that is what I have for perennial rhinitis.  I would check with your vet first as there may be different strengths
Always have been, always will be, a WYSIWYG - black is black, white is white - no grey in my life! But I'm mellowing in my old age

I have some excellent solid soap for dogs with sensitive skin that I got from Crufts last year - when I get home I will look at the wrapper and give you their website address.

Solid bar is so much easier,  :thumbsup: you can rub it on them....I did get my dogs bar accidently mixed in with my stuff and used it on myself.....I had a lovely shinny coat and wet nose for weeks :innocent:

But Sandy it was a bit embarrassing when you ran up to everyone sniffing their crotch and don't even mention the times you got cold water chucked over you for humping in the park , that poor park keeper will never be the same again !

I often forget and think of the dogs as my children.......as long as I do not start eating thier food of pooing in the garden...I suppose I am still human :thumbsup:
