Hi! My 13 week old had been itching himself for a few days and was making a huge fuss while doing it so we brought him to the vet who said he had very dry skin. He gave us an antihistamine pill to give him 2x day as well as fish oil to put in his food once a day. We have been doing this for 5 days now and he is not getting any better. It breaks my heart because the poor thing can't sleep more than a few hours at night before waking up and scratching for a long time. Last night he woke up 3 times crying and scratching. We also changed his food at the vet's recommendation and are working on transitioning that now.
Has anyone else experienced this? If so, how long does it take before he can feel some relief? Besides the fact that he is puppy and still bites everything in site this is making his biting worse because he's irritated he's itchy all the time.
Thanks!
