<body class='hmmessage'>Well, Lizzie and I went to the vet today. According to the vet, Lizzie has an allergy. So, she got a shot of cortisone and some medicine and I promptly had $100 taken from me. I almost said "Are you sure? MomPerson said it is probably an infection or a yeast infection." So, I guess we'll see. I noticed today that she was licking her paws a lot and itching her tummy, too (doing the army crawl across the carpet to itch herself). Do you think the cortisone will mask an infection if there is one?<BR><BR>Alison<BR><BR>

<DIV>No there is nothing horrible wrong with her other than she is a Basset, it is summer, it is humid, and the flaps never completely dry. Then they get infected and/or the dog gets a raging yeast infection, and it itches intolerably.</DIV>
<DIV>Drying their mouths GENTLY several times a day, esp. after drinks and cleaning their faces after meals helps. I found that using Pyoben Gel on the flews helped a great deal. It is a slightly astringent anti something or other, that you get from the Vet, but it works. What also works is the Acne meds like Oxy-10 --the little pads. Ok maybe I better put a conditional statement in here: It has worked for Mitchell every summer. He's my rug-rubber, my pant-leg-wiper, my drooly, itchy, face-rubbing, frantic-scratching boy. Every summer.</DIV>

<DIV>Sometimes they need an anti=biotic, too. </DIV>
