Hi all,
We have a STB pup (15wks) and she experiencing some major itching... We are very up to speed on general care (frontline fortnightly, have pest controlled the house and yard and removed any obvious plants etc) The vet suggested the standard anti fungal shampoo and it seemed to help slightly but not enough.. She also gave us phenergan which did help but would like to know if by using this, we are just delaying her immune system from sorting out the allergy by itself?
I have also purchased some pinetarsel and another itch preventing product.....?????
We are booking to see a doggy dermatoligest but they only come every 6 months in our area???
Please help.... I know SBT are renowned for their skin problems and am very familiar with the breed but am not sure whether we should ride it out till she is 6mths or so and see if her immune system kicks in or should we be trying everything within our power now to prevent it from re-occuring?
If the phernergan is OK on her body and will not delay her immune system we will stick with that untill she is around 6 months or so but if not please let me know what you all think...
Cheers..... Jia Nugget
