    Hi,

    for some reason my boxer pup has had an alergice reaction to something?????

    Nothing has changed over the last couple of days regarding her bedding,surroundings or food.

    Has anybody got any advice on what steps to take.

    She is not herself at all, scratchy and not sleeping and wimpering a lot.

    I intend to bring to the vet on Wednesday but is there anything I can don to help the situation.

    Thanks,

    Rob

    Have you checked for fleas? Does she have an upset stomach? What are you feeding her?

    i also have a 11mth boxer who goes through phases of exteme itchiness, i put a little sudo cream on the area she is scratchs most, on my dog its under her legs, and this seems to relieve the itchness for her for a while, hope this helps.

    Annika,

    I Will Conduct A Thorough Search For Any Signs Of Fleas, Is There Anything In Particular I Should Be Looking Out For?

    She Has Not Got An Upset Stomach But She Will Not Eat - She Is Drinking Fine. She Wont Even Eat Treats That I Have Been Giving To Her During Training

    Don't know if you are being serious or not but you obviously need to take her to the vet today.

    Many dogs nowadays suffer from allergic reactions and just like in humans it can have many causes: fleas, food, detergent, bedding, household cleaners etc, the list is endless.

    Is your Boxer white? It seems to be alot worse in some white Boxers.

    You need to take your dog to a GOOD vet who is experienced in the treatment of Allergies in canines.

    All,

    Thank You All For Your Help.

    I Brought Molly To The Vet Today And She Was Given An Antibiotic And Steroid - The People In The Animal Hospital In Ucd Were Very Helpful And Unfortunately Costly! Only Joking My Dog Is Worth Every Penny.

    Once Again Thanks To All For Their Help!!!!!
