For humans i know that a little vaseline around the under eye and nostrils really does help as it helps to stop pollen going up the nose. Wonder if you can put this on dogs? My dog suffers terrible with allergies, we have to wash him frequently

No they didnt advise of that Terry, the only other thing other than the ones we have done that they advised was a very pricey referral for an injection to be made for him that may not have worked anyway so we decided against it. The place we have gone to for the raw diet come highly recommended...

Thanks Terry. The only place carpeted in the house are the stairs, the rest is wooden floor or tiles. I have leather couches and i hoover everyday plus bedding is changed daily and i always use the dryer, i dont have a washing line. Ill have a look out for the dust mite matress cover, all i...

Aww yes he does and i dont think he would sleep anywhere else, he doesnt even really sit by himself. hes such a loving dog he likes to lie on us and be by us all the time for cuddles. I do change the bedding daily so i would think akin particles would be a minimum do you think? We do bathe him...

Thats really good to know about the fish oils because we are currently on the raw food course where they add different raw ingredients each week and see if there are any reactions so they know and we can tailor his food specific for him. I know they add fish in week 7 of this so he gets the...

Thanks so much for this info! Weve recently changed to raw diet which is also meant to help and fingers crossed he already doesnt seem as itchy but i may be counting chickens before they hatch. I was going to try cod liver oil but ill get oil of evening primrose instead. Thanks very much. Sounds...

We dont know Violet. We have changed his food 4 times, binned a duck feather quilt and got a hypoallergenic one because he sleeps on the bed with us, he gets bathed alot as advised by vets. We juat dont know, everytime we think weve worked out what it is, it turns out not to be

Hi everyone, so we are still no better off with the allergy situation and we feel we have thought of everything it could be so i just want to treat it now to keep bowie as comfy as possible. It must be horrible feeling itchy all the time!! We are going back to the vets again tomorrow, hes there...

we are very skilled people to learn to actually sleep like that or is it through eventual exhaustion haha. He would not sleep anywhere without us. He even tries to get in the bath when either 1 of us is in there!

I definitely agree. He is like a cuddly hot water bottle!

My partner then comes to bed later on. There were 10 in the bed and the little one said... I change the bedding everyday because my pets love sleeping in our bed but they even jump on the bed as soon as its been changed, i know they do it on purpose haha

Only normal people sleep horizontal, everyone knows that!

I am human origami. I sleep inbetween Lola and Bowie (im the line that cant be crossed by bowie or lola gives him a swift paw to the face) I spend the night trying to not knock lola off the side of the bed and weaving the rest of me around wherever Bowie has decided to lie on his 3/4 side of the...

H Josie, our vet said they need to refer to the university for the blood test as they dont do it at the vets (im not sure if this is the same for all vets, we are in whitecross vets). She said the referal costs approx £300 then the actual test will cost approx £300. The vet was hapoy with the...

I hate having to wake him up when i go to work. Look at his little face

Hi everyone, just thought i would update you. So the vet thinks he has a little infection (yeast/bacterial) as a result from his allergies. Hes now got medicated wipes, medicated shampoo and apoquel tablets and we are going back next saturday so they can see how hes getting on. They think he may...

Thanks for replying Joanne. I know, i feel sorry for him, he really is a trooper and just gets on with it aswell, still loving and playful and im sure it must be irritating him. the vet has seen it worse than this and said if it doesnt get better he may need antibiotics so i dont think she...

This is his paw and his poor little chin. :( His chin isnt as angry looking as it has been previously.

Thank you everyone for your replies. Sorry if i came across like im not confident in bowies vet, she really is lovely and also trying her best to advise us, i was just trying to give the whole picture of what we have done so far trying to sort this out and the information and advice we have had...

Hi everyone, just joined the forum. My dog Bowie is a staffie cross american bulldog. He is just over a year old. He has a fabulous loving temperament but is one mischievious chewing machine and also had no spacial awareness or any consideration for personal space which usually results in him...
