swamper 11 Posted May 27, 2005 Report Share Posted May 27, 2005 a bit of help please mate of mines got a gsd x 2years old and its got what seems to be an unidentified allergy, it started at 6 months. its skin becomes irritated and its ears are the worst affected, the vet has put it on a special diet but this has not stopped the problem. every 7/8 weeks it flares up and the dog ends up on antibiotics, it did calm down over winter but did not stop alltogether , the poor dog is ripping its ears to shreds trying to get relief, i thought it may be down to the cat that the dog shares the house with, but it gets worse when the lawns are mown has any one got any suggestions on how to deal with it? cheers swamper Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest erb Posted May 27, 2005 Report Share Posted May 27, 2005 could go down the chemist and get some allergy (claritin) or simalar tabs for hayfever etc try those they just anti histamine. For his ears could try some stuff called Thornit powder its good stuff Quote Link to post Share on other sites
