Any thoughts or ideas?


1 mg of benadryl per pound of body weight 2-3 times daily until the symptoms subside. I'd also talk to the vet about getting monthly allergy shots as these help a lot. Other than that play with the diet and change food. My bulldog is allergic to beef and corn, so the dog food we get is salmon/chicken/lamb and peas/rice for her. A lot of things you can do, but the benadryl to help relieve some of the symptoms in the mean time would be my first approach.

Everything here I agree with. She may find Apoquel or Cytopoint injections helpful. She can have an allergy panel done with bloodwork.
