[Dailydrool] Itchies!

[Karen]

We are sending No Itchy Drool to Dewey.  This has been a horrible year for allergies.  
I think that the Squirrelastan and RaTailaban are dropping itchy bombs at an increased paced.

Sadee Mayee is holding on Claritin 5 mg twice daily.  She wears her t-shirt, gets wiped down 
frequently and I alternate between benadryl cream and lidocaine based spray when she starts 
scratching.  Luckily with the heat she limits her own time being outside but I keep the grass really
short.   She also gets natural local honey that I change depending on the season.  The honey work
like desensitzing injections, giving them just a little bit of the allergen at a time.  

The one thing I have found with Sadee Maye is that her allergies have changed over time.  
She started out with just corn then moved on to wheat and soy.  Luckily her reactions show 
up fairly quickly and I know to eliminate that food.  She has an area just above her nose that 
swells and her eyes become redder.  At least once a year I have to put her on a elimination diet 
where she recieves 1 protein for a week then slowly we add in 1 item each week.  

My baby girl is just like her Momma and her side of the family.  Allergic to everything!  I guess 
it runs in the family.

Droolz,
