My Dog Daisy

[Mark022884]

I just wanted to write in a little something about my 7 year old dog Daisy. She is the cutest little dog, an eskimo-sheltie mix. She is really cute, but she suffers from alergies. Whenever she gets food other than dog, she starts sneezing and starts rubbing her eyes on the floor or on her paws. Sometimes she rubs so much that she starts to rub the fur off the area above her eyes, the eyebrows I would say. Its really sad sometimes because she has such a pleasant personality and I hate to see her that way. But I love her so much and so does my family. My life would be so different without her.

Wow, all I can say is try to keep her away from anything but dog food. If you have cats you could try putting the cat food somewhere up high so the dog can't get to it.

I am sure she is cute. I think that would make a nice mix

I LOVE dogs!! I wish I could have a dog right now!! I have a kitten though, and she is THE sweetest ever!! She likes to sit in the shower in between the shower curtain and shower liner so she doesn't get wet! She also likes to play underneath the covers of my bed, lol. She's SO cute!

I hope Daisy starts feeling better soon! I'd definitely try to keep her away from anything but dog food! She sounds like the cutest mix!! I love mixes! They are the best!!

Thank-you all for the kind words. She really is the greatest dog. And I agree mixes make the best pets. Monkey Queen, your kitten sounds really cute too.

Hey Mark.

I've dealt with a few dogs that have allergy issues.. You can simply give her a dose of Benadryl (Childrens Non drowsy Bubble Gum Falvor). Depending on her size id say a couple tablesspoons.
It is totaly safe, ive used it on my pomeranian and a german shep.

You can also try Chlorpheniramine (4mg.) Its just an allergy pill for dogs you can get this at your vets or online fairly cheap. It works pretty good, and again safe.

Petco should carry it
just do a search for Chlorpheniramine 4mg

Good luck

Wow...I never considered the bendryl, but that sounds like a good idea. Thanks for the advice.
