[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]SHAVE THE FREAKING DOG ALREADY![/quote]

We aren't shaving the dog, it's winter. For the people telling us to bath the dog more than every 6 weeks, where have you heard this is ok to do? I'm just asking because our vet told us because of the oils in the dogs skin & fur we were told that the bath shouldn't happen any more frequently than 6 weeks apart. If this info is incorrect I'll have her groomed more often until we can make arrangements for her to move to the farm (if that works out) but this came from the vet & the groomer that it's a no no). It's harmful to their coat & skin.

DH is putting a call into the farm friends to see what we can work out. DD does take zyrtec daily and she is too young for allergy shots, the allergist was not willing to start them at her age. FWIW, the zyrtec does not seem to make any difference.[/quote]

I also did research and found that the more you wash the dog, the worse it can be. Something about the oil regenerating from the dry skin associated with frequent contact with water. And although my son was on allergy medicine, it never really seemed to work for him either.

I had eczema growing up. Being itchy can be HELL. If there was any way I could stop my child from suffering, I would do it. I can imagine possibly asking my DH to deal with an allergy issue, but not a child who really has no say in the matter.
