[Dailydrool] Itchy flews

[Bassetmomx2 Hound]

Alison,

My oldest Augie has an itchy chin and I had to take him to the vet.She rx'd
Nolvasan. I mix it with water and soak cotton balls and put it on his chin.
She also told me to use stainless steel bowels. But anytime he eats
something that he is allergic to he rubs on his bed or the floor furiously
and then I have to treat again.

I hope this helps!!

Sylvia, aka bassetmomx2 to Augie and Yankee

Does anyone have any advice for what to do about itchy flews?  Lizzie
started out occasionally rubbing her face on the footstool.  I thought she
was just wiping her mouth off after drinking.  Now, she seems to perpetually
be itching (either against the furniture or with her paws. . .sometimes on
both sides at the same time. . .which is kinda funny, but I digress) her
flews.  She doesn't have fleas.  I have been feeding them Purina One, but I
think I am going to switch back to Eagle Pack.  Max's skin does not look
like it is doing well with the Purina One (his underarms are reddish and
they haven't been before. . .isn't that a sign of an allergy?).  I was
feeding Nutro, but was not happy with what it did to their poos (it truly IS
amazing what dogs force you to care about!).
I would hate for there to be some dreaded Itchy Flew disease that I am
missing.
