[quote=Anonymous]We recently got a 7 year old beagle. He started NexGard and a flea chewable with us; the NexGard is because he has a history of seizures and he had never been on flea meds prior because his previous locale was flea-free due to it being a cold weather location. His food remained the same from what his previous owners gave although we also added FortiFlora probiotics since he was having diarrhea issues due to being on an antibiotic. Unfortunately, the poor guy has been besieged by intense itching. He did get groomed once, but the itching was already an issue. While on spring break, my sister (who was watching him) thought the scratching really worsened so she took him to the vet. They said they didn't see traditional signs of mange and that they suspected it could be environmental allergies. He's not an outside dog, but does spend much more time outside in our yard than he did previously. She gave him an anti-itch pill but said she didn't want him on it long-term. Has anyone dealt with itchiness like this and if so, what did you do? Before he got into to see the vet, my sister gave him a Benadryl (the previous owner said he'd taken it before with no adverse reactions) but even the 1/3 of a pill he got apparently knocked him out.
