My baby is six months old. She seems to be scratching alot and her hair seems to be thining. We took her to the Vet last week, he said she might have an allergy. Any one have any idea's that can help me and my baby.

i just asked about this yesterday. i spoke with my vet and he said to give him 4ml. of benadryl because he's 4lbs. 1ml per pound. he said that if this doesn't help then i'll have to bring him in for his shot. he told me that it could be that spring is here and the pollen etc. could be the cause if he doesn't havee fleas and he doesn't. so i would try the benadryl first instead of paying for a visit when it isn't necassary. or it could be that she's getting older and loosing her puppy coat and it is causing an itch. buti would still try the benadryl for the itching. hope this helps!

i thought toby's hair was thinning on his back....... but it just turned out that the roots are silver and it was shining so it looked like his actual skin
