Nessa

Yeah the clinic is in Essendon and I've mentioned it before to dad. He's just being a stubborn old fart. I said I'd foot the bill. Need a referral from a vet first.

Oops about the Telfast. We got rid of the grass in the backyard, so could just be airborne allergens. Just checked the box again and yeah, says 180mg (http://tinyurl.com/3y3l847). We started the Malaseb as was advised by the vet initially. Bella weighs approx 20kg. We've spent a lot of money on trips to the vet with no real outcome. Like I said, cortisone works but trying to avoid it due to it shortening her life span.

My dog Bella is itching like mad (Beagle x). Her stomach is quite pink and she is forever biting at her paw. She's used Polaramine in the past and has also been on cortisone, though I don't wish to use this if possible as it will shorten her life span. Currently washing with Malaseb every 2 days to try and keep the itch at bay. Have used other medicated shampoos in the past, as well as oatmeal based ones. Just bought a box of Telfast above. Dad has given her a whole tablet but not sure what she should be given. TIA for your help.
