<DIV>give Zoey 2 Benadryl, my first Basset Lucy had severe allergies and I
would give her two Benadryl, it is a antihistamine and it will also
calm her down because it makes them kind of sleepy so you should be able to get
the socks on her. My Maggie Wags also has severe allergies and even
although she is takings desensitizing shots she still has contact
allergies to the grass, I have to wash her feet in cool water, pat them
dry and I use hydro cortizone cream on the inside of her pads, I rub
a small amount in and then put on the baby socks on. the vet said
it only has to have about three minutes of contact time to work, so if you can't
get socks on Zoey just sit with her for a little while until the
cream has a chance to work, part of it may also be obsession, once
they start licking they can't stop. the Benadryl should also help that, I
use the Benadryl caplets, easier to put down the throat, I
dont even try to put it in her food she eats around it or spits it out
! Personally I would not use the cone, just my stupid
opinion, my Maggie is a fraid of everything and the cone would just scare
her to death, if Zoey already has an issue with things, I wouldn't try the cone.
good luck</DIV>
