Hey everyone, my son and I took Blossom on a walk this afternoon and we got for in the rain on the way home. Blossom's white fur got dirty from the rain splashing up on her, so we gave her a bath when we got home. We were going to bath Dozer and Blossom on the weekend, but she needed one, so we did her today and will do Dozer on the weekend. I just bought a new shampoo from Petsmart, its made by Top Paw and is Strawberry Banana Smoothie Scented, it has natural oatmeal in it, and is supposed to be good for controlling shedding. The groomers recommended it, and it smelled really good. I used it on Blossom today, and she has been super itchy ever since. Our other shampoo that we've always used is Petsmart's own brand it's called Tearless Puppy Shampoo and also has oatmeal I it, I've used it ever since they were puppies with no reactions. I'm thinking it must be the strawberry or banana scent that is making her itchy. She doesn't have any rash, bumps or hives, but I gave her a Benadryl, its not really helping. I don't want her to keep scratching because I'm afraid she might make herself sore and bleed. I'm going to put her back in the tub and rinse her with warm water and vinegar and rinse her really well and see if that helps. Poor baby I feel so bad for her. I don't think I should try it on Dozer in case he has the same reaction. Maybe I should take back the shampoo and exchange it for the one I always use.
