What type of anti-itch conditioner would you recommend!

Probably something by Duoxo...via Amazon...

Do you know what is causing the itching so you can bite that in the butt?

I use Vectra 3 for flea and tick control and it seems to make her scratch for about a week. Even after I bathe her.

Well then I don't a conditioner or shampoo can be expected to help if there is an allergic reaction going on. I would instead try medicating her w/ Benadryl for about a week and see if that helps. Otherwise, it's like you're treating a stuffy nose w/ an aspirin, ya know?

I have Benadryl here just not sure how much is the correct amount to give her. She weighs 5.13lbs. Don't want to give her to much.

Most of us don't feel comfy giving out dosage info online, however, when it comes to Benadryl - it's very important to always know the dose in case of an emergency like a bee sting, scorpion sting, fire ants or any other allergic reaction...bc Benadryl could save a life. So w/ Benadryl, I always think it's good to share the info: the dose is 1-2mg per pound; my Vet Derm actually prefers the 2mg/pound dosage.

So for your kiddo - this would be 5-10mg. If you took a 25mg pill and cut it in fourths, you'd have 8.25mg pills then - right in the middle of the 1-2mg/pound dosage - perfect!

I think I would try something different she may be allergic to it.

We are in the process of moving we are going to stop and introduce ourselves to the new vet and discuss with her what she thinks we should try.

Allergies have been awful where I live. Katie has an injury to her paw that we have been treating, but initially we thought she was biting her foot due to allergies. She still might have them, but she no doubt has an injury. My prescribed Resicort. I read many wonderful reviews about it. It is a leave in conditioner with cortisone. A lot of places are out of it, but it is available some places.
