Itchy Charley can get some relief from Benadryl - totally safe for dogs and easy to dose as they get 1 mg. per lb. Benadryl is available in 25 mg. so my dachshund gets one half and the bassets get one or two whole tablets. This will only relieve the itchies - unlimately you need to figure out if you are dealing with a fungus or an allergy. The peepee is probably from licking but the dogpits could be a fungus and the tummy could be a contact allergy! I bathe my dogs in an anti-fungal shampoo (Malaseb) and we never have a dogpit problem!<BR>

All of the rescues I have worked with have a sliding scale of adoption fees - more for puppies and less as the dogs age. Some waive fees for very old dogs - anything to encourage people to adopt those lovely seniors! In my humble opinion, if you can't afford an adoption fee, you can't afford the dog - but I can't be opposed to adopters spending the waived fees on nice new collars, beds and the all important vet visits! <BR>

It is raining outside here in Florida and the Basset 500 is being run in my house - supervised by Rudy the 9 year old Dachshund who never thought his legs were too short til he tried to keep up with the 1 and 2 year old buppy bassets! Must go cheer on Hannah Lee Dawg who is currently in the lead! <BR><BR><BR>
