Question by hillaryc59bc: My 4and half year old Golden Retriever has been scratching herself on & off all day long for about 2 weeks.?
We gave her a treatment for fleas last weekend. For a day or so, this seemed to help. Now she’s itching & scrathing again. She has allergies including dust mites which we think now is the cause of her problem. We will be taking her to the vetenarian probably in a few days…when we get the time to. Meanwhile…does anybody out there now how to treat dust mites on dogs. I hate to see her suffer. Suggestions much appreciated!!
We take both of our goldens to the vet regularly and both DO have allergies that include dust mites, mold. Like one of the people that responded suggested that she has seasonal allergies. We have given her Claritan (an antihistamine which we are out of now and are going to get), and this does help both of the dogs. We do consider ourselves responsible and good “parents” to our dogs. Thanks for all your suggestions and helpful answers!!
