I have 5 yr old male Yorkie: since he was 2, he has had serious alergies, clawing, till bleeding, both hips, all 4 legs, feet. Taken him to 3 animal hospitals, left a week, they all told me except 1 place that he didn't claw/scratch there. They knew it was so because he was very red and inflamed. IV spent 3,000.0 thus far can't keep spending. Changed foods no grain, twice, put in study for allergies. Said he had alergy to a tree we don't even have, and Fabric Mites. I've changed everything, detergents, use prescription shampoo, etc etc. thru away all stuffed toys. Moved to new or fairly new apt. Nothing. My vet sells me presc. Called Apoquel only thing ever worked. It's 130.00 mo I can't afford it. Pls pls someone help me! I'll b indebted to you Becky R.

I have had the same problem and experience with my ShihTzu. This has been going on for over 5 years now and have found the only thing that works is Temaril P which you can purchase here. My little guy is 10 yo weighs 10 lbs. so, I poke the capsule with a pin and give him half a dose every day, but make sure you read up on it beforehand because, I've read somewhere that you can lower the dosage after a few days. Hope this helps, but again please, read up on the medication first.
P.S. It took about 5 days to get (I'm in NV) and by the 2nd. Day my little guy has stopped itching!
