Yes, you did right and hopefully he's getting better on
Benedryl. If hives develop, rub a wetted salve of baking
soda on them. If his allergies don't get better than look
into Apoquel.
We have used snout soother before too Now using Mushers which is just about the same thing! Use it on his paw pads too! Tyson is doing good.... its HOT as heck over here too... Tyson goes out in early morning & late night to avoid excess heat. And you should SOOOOO get Bentley a pool, Tyson loves his!!!! I'm so happy he's doing so much better.
We have an IDC Caoutchouc ball and Jack loves it so much! We used to have so much trouble finding a toy that was durable because Jack would chew everything apart. I have had this one for awhile now and it's still in almost the same shape as it was originally (of course some bite marks, but no missing pieces ) I would recommend it for anyone with hard chewers. The same company also carries a ball that is made from almost the same material, besides it is neon colored and glows in dark. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a long life toy. Grand Rapids is a beautiful city
