We are having a hard time determing whether or not Wilson has allergies. He is a 1.5 year old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and has recently begun itching more and more. He itches primarily under is front arms,and his ears and bites at his behind and tail, He developed a hot spot several weeks ago that our vet treated with antibiotics. Subsequently, the vet suggested we put him on a trial of Claritin to see if that would help is itching. However, this doesn't seem to be helping, and this morning he began viciously chewing at another paw. It is pitiful to watch, and he seems so uncomfortable. I am wondering if we should try to switch his food at this point or request our vet to look further into this problem. Can you offer any suggestions on next steps or other things we should be investigating? Thank you!View Thread
