Hi all! I have been keeping up on Bentley's allergy symptoms since they started last month. Basically he has been getting red and itchy on and off. I wipe him down when we come inside every time. I have also been using witch hazel. Basically I just feel so bad for my guy when he is uncomfortable!
So tonight we went on our first walk in about a month. He has been bumming around, but it has been to hot out. After we came back in I noticed he was getting red again, he also got a few bug bites too. They are small and haven't gotten any bigger.
I've been on the fence about medicating him because I clearly freak out afterwards! So anyway it has been about 2 1/2 hours since I gave him a 10mg tablet of Claritin. The vet already said I could, and I've been saving the dosage information on my fridge. Since then he has been restless/hyper? It is strange. I want to laugh at him but this is not his normal 11p.m. behavior. He never leaves my side either and he was running to our bedroom a few times to cuddle on the bed alone. I followed him and he was excited to see me. So clearly he is not in any distress, but what is the deal?!
He's sleeping now, but he keeps moving around picking a new spot to lay.
It's just freaking me out a bit......
