Yes, Lawren and Teddy, this spray seems to be working GREAT. Cody hasn't chewed or tried to bite or scatch the area since we started with the GenOne. YAY!!!

<p>That topical spray is wonderful. Teddy gets an itchy belly and will chew himself raw. That spray will stop it in its tracks. It works even better than oral prednisone. I will only have to spray once or twice and then won't have to do more for weeks.</p>

Well, folks we found out what Cody's problem is! Seems he has a mild case of what we hope is "seasonal" eczema. The vet gave him an anti-inflammatory shot and sent us home with some anti-itch, anti-inflammatory topical spray to be administered 2x a day. It's called "GenOne Spray" for topical lesions. Ever since we left the vet he has not tried to chew or bite at the area on his thighs. Dr. seems to think it will clear up in 2 weeks, if not I'll take him back and they'll put him on oral…

Thanks so much everyone! He has an appt. this coming week. He seems to be much better, no Benadryl today. I still can't see any blotches under his fur and I've looked and looked. He did get bit by a mosquito or something inside his thigh under his "pants"....poor guy he keeps picking at that, but it's getting better too.

<p>I hope he is continuing to improve. I was told the Benadryl or its genetic pill dose matches the weight of the dog. For example the 25 mg dose is correct for a 25 lb. dog. The first time the skin breakdown itching and scratching happened to Sully the vet thought it was probably grass pollen and she prescribed prednisone to help her get relief since it was pretty severe. Sully lost control of her bladder while she as on the prednisone which concerned me for her and also because I rent. I…</p>
<p>I hope he is continuing to improve. I was told the Benadryl or its genetic pill dose matches the weight of the dog. For example the 25 mg dose is correct for a 25 lb. dog. The first time the skin breakdown itching and scratching happened to Sully the vet thought it was probably grass pollen and she prescribed prednisone to help her get relief since it was pretty severe. Sully lost control of her bladder while she as on the prednisone which concerned me for her and also because I rent. I think it really bothered her to have almost non-stop accidents too.</p>
<p>When I found out we could try Benadryl I was worried, but it sure beats the "roids." I can keep her free of rashes, itching and hot-spots most of the time, but it is a delicate balance. I make sure I always have plenty of ACV, hydrocortisone cream, Benadryl, and hydrogen peroxide which I sometimes use to wipe down her belly and paws if she starts licking and I don't want to bathe her too often and risk more dry skin. I think most of her issues are food and/or environmental allergies which cause itching, discomfort and uneasiness from constipation, and a combo of mild anxiety issues and possible boredom which tends to show up when I am out for more than a couple of hours or more often, when I am really sick and I am home, but forced to ignore for the most part her for a day or more due to illness. If I am up and moving she seems okay, even though she mainly sleeps or just lies at my feet, but she seems to sense when I am not well. I would bet Cody's rash makes him itch, but also his itching could aggravate the rash. In other words, he may have issues from time to time, but it may not be from one specific cause but the treatments are the same in all cases (I think) though I would not want to be the last word on what Cody needs. I hope he is doing well now.</p> it could be hot spots go to y…tag:mycorgi.com,2014-09-06:1150197:Comment:18836832014-09-06T10:03:48.585ZBrian D Grahamhttp://mycorgi.com/profile/BrianGraham

<p>Because Max's allergies affect his sinuses I have to use Benadryl. Max is 35 lbs (he's a large boned corgi) and he gets one Benadryl twice daily from mid August to the first frost. This is per our vet. He gets horrible ear infections otherwise. They can tolerate higher doses of Benadryl than we can. We use either Walgreen's or Target's equivalent, both work fine. I also use them...Max and I share the same kind of allergies.</p>

<p>If the spots are going away, he's probably getting better, even if there's still some residual itchiness. He may have gotten into something (plants?) or eaten something (wonderful treasure found on the ground?) that he's allergic to. If he got into a plant or pollen or some such, probably your having washed him removed the irritant</p>
