[quote=Anonymous]OP here. The vet did recommend giving him fish oil, so we'll definitely try that. This poor fella has been on a variety of meds since coming home. First, he was on the previously mentioned abx for a burst cyst when we picked him up. This gave him diarrhea, so the vet gave him an anti-diarrheal med. Then he hurt his leg and was put on painkillers, which we stopped after a couple of days because it gave him another round of diarrhea, and he went back on AD meds. He also is taking cosequin chewables. Then, my sister took him to the vet for the scratching and the still persistent diarrhea, so now he's on the anti-itching meds and a different type of anti-diarrheal. All this to say that the scratching/itching was present as soon as we brought him home and preceded all meds except for the initial antibiotics for the burst cyst. It had definitely worsened, but was present immediately upon bringing him into our house. The only other thing I can think of is that we diffuse lavender in the bedrooms at night; he sleeps in our room. I had read that lavender should be safe for dogs, unlike other essential oils, but I just stopped using it last night to see if it makes a difference.[/quote]
