Rocco has been scratching at his face and nose rope as of late. So bad that he bleeds on top of the nose rope by his nose and scratches the scab open so often it doesn't have time to heal. I also noticed that some blood is going into his folds and drying up and even though I clean it out every day/ every other day, he still gets it. He went to the vet yesterday (Had his annual checkup anyway) and we were told it is a possible seasonal allergy. We were given a cream to assist with healing and the Dr said to put the cone on his head if he keeps scratching. I was at work and my fiance is the one who took him so I couldn't even ask the questions I would have asked. Has anybody else experienced anything like this? What kind of allergy could it be? I have given him benadryl when he was licking his paws constantly but that has since stopped but should I be giving it to him again? I'm just at a loss as to what can be causing him to violently scratch his face every day. Thanks in advance! (sorry if this whole shpeal doesn't flow properly I'm at work and getting torn in different directions lol)
