I do believe my guy might have some allergy issues going on. When it started warming up he started doing a lot of paw nibbling and belly licking, sometimes watery eyes..I have read that is a sign of allergies. My mom told me to just give him benadryl but I haven't yet because I don't want him to be sleepy and it makes me sleepy! Lol

yes,paw licking is definitely a sign of allergies,and watery eyes too.
The reason Maisey cant use benadryl is she throws up,and its almost like slobber will hang from her mouth.we have a bird that we've had for 19 years,& Maisey cant be around him because she starts itching,aint that weird.Now Missy is a different story.shes allergic to everything outside and also pecans,turkey,eggs,beef,corn,peanuts,fleas,and pollen.Missy was almost bald,and had been on medication after medication.we have cats outside,Missy cant be anywhere around them because shes allergic to cat dander.her skin had became red,almost burnt looking.bleeding,and what looked liked cradle cap all over her body.She had to start seeing a dermatology specialist for pets 2 HOURS AWAY FROM WHERE WE LIVE.she had a skin infection and severe allergies.Now almost 2 years later she has a full thick coat.she still has to have stuff put under her eyes and a shampoo and conditioner from the dermatologist,2 different kind of medicated mousse and a allergy pill twice a day AND BOTH OF THEM ARE ON ALLERGY SERUM SHOTS.we give Maisey one every 3 weeks and Missy one every 2 weeks.also Missy and Maisey have to have advantage every 2 weeks instead of 4.we have to be really careful with them.

Missy HAD a plastic bowl,and the hair around her mouth was bare,so we switched to stainless steel,and no more problems with that.

no,they're not related at all.Missy is a chihuahua and Maisey a dachshund.but they came from 2 different counties.I havent even mentioned our chihuahua Maggie that has seizures,thats a whole different post:

we were not so lucky.Maisey HAD a heart murmur on the wrong side,so they wouldnt spay her at first w/o an ultrasound.didnt know if she could handle being put to sleep for it.So we got everyone praying for her and now she is murmur free.We do still have the allergy issue,and unfortunately she cant be on the ground.she takes an allergy pill twice a day.Holy moly!

Minnie has issues with cysts coming up on her and we have to go once a year and have anywhere from 6-10 removed .
Missy had had severe skin,coat and allergy issues since weve had her.with the vets,dermatology specialist,shampoos and medications,she has really been through it.Plus she had to have a knee replacement last year and then got a blood clot in her BLADDER,my heart broke!!she is allergic to "everything" along with fleas and pollen outside plus pecans,turkey,eggs,beef,corn,peanuts,.she also cant be on the ground.Her skin had gotten so bad that she was almost bald.Now shes thick and full,thanks to a dermatologist 2 hours away from our home.she takes allergy medicine twice a day also.she had 2 different mousses that if her skin does a certain thing,she takes that one then the other mousse is the same way,for different ailments.These are medications that come out the bottle like a mousse.
Maggie has seizures.she is on phenabarbital twice a day.the last one was the worst shes had.Plus she has an incontinence problem and has to take DES for that.
and our Molly,she was 8 1/2 years old and this August will be 2 years since we lost her to cancer.We thought for sure after the blood transfusion she was getting better,but just couldnt fight it.
Food:
Missy & Maggie is on one that Maisey is allergic to
Minnie is on one that Maisey and Missy is allergic to
Maisey is on that that Missy is allergic to
and the snacks are the same way.
