My Jake has had a bout of severe itching- waking up at night, restless- pure misery. He also developed hives at this time. Apparently he has allergies to something this time of year. The vet prescibed Temaril-P which worked beautifully. He was on a low dose- 2 pills twice a day and weaned off to 1/2 a tab twice a day. I weaned him off completely after 10 days... but the itching and paw gnawing have returned. The vet has us restarting the Temaril- P. I'm just a bit nervous b/c it does have prenisolone in it. It is low dose and the vet said he would be fine... but I seem to be reading about a lot of dogs with Cushings so am a bit nervous. I guess I just wanted to hear if anyone had any experience with this medicine and what their thoughts were. I tried the benadryl and it just really didn't help this time around. We are also doing oatmeal baths- though his skin looks perfectly fine. Sigh- I hate miserable pups
