symptoms? licking/chewing paws? a vet friend is an allergy specialist in homewood. i know that is too far for you, but maybe a phone call could lead you to a fellow expert in your area. his name is allen riley. my black mouth cur was seriously allergic to all grains. once she went grain free (not just gluten free), no more problems. hope you find relief. my daughter's catahoula/redbone/bloodhound cross in pensacola never did find relief, sad to say ...

I’ll second what Fishduck said. My female fox red which is 4 now would scratch, chew, to the point she would create bleeding sores, couldn’t sleep and I could tell she was miserable. I tried different foods, shampoo, everything under the sun. Finally the vet told me it’s something environmental and I could spend a lot of $ only to find out it’s grass, oak trees etc. So I started her on Apoquel and it flat works. Once it’s under control I give her a half pill every other day to keep it at bay. What does that cost ya'll a month?

Is there a chance of backing off on the dosage to 8 mg if it will still work or is it going to take the full pill Dr. O? It honestly depends on the dog. Some dogs you can get away with it, some need the full dose. It's worth a shot. If you notice itching, go back to the 16mg.

changing that protein source is what she needed. This. Proteins (specifically protein source) are what dogs are allergic to. Please do not feed grain free diets. Young, apparently healthy dogs are dropping dead all over the country from cardiomyopathy due to grain free diets.

So our lab licks his feet constantly, they are red between the pads. Should I try the apoquel? If so where do I get it from? His bed sometimes is soaked from his licking
yes.....get it from your vet. It's high as giraffe pussy, but well worth it.
If Caitlyn Jenner can keep his wiener and be considered a woman, I can keep my guns and be considered disarmed!

I don't think benedryl is effective for dogs in that sense. I use diphenhydramine in dogs, but not for itchiness. The only way I think it works is if it makes them too drowsy to notice they're itching.
