My 1 year old cockapoo Rudy gets itchy about 2 hrs post bath and EXTREMELY itchy after grooming.
I have tried a variety of oatmeal shampoos as well as some earthbath products. The vet used some medicated shampoo last time as she said he has a Yeast problem?? He was so itchy I had to bring him to the vet for a shot of prednisone. The time before that the vet put him on a 10 day rx of prednisone.
I gave him benedryl before his grooming this time.
He turns bright red and flakes off dandruff like crazy. After prednisone shot he is fine.
Itch usually lasts 48 hours post bath but even that is too long for me to see him uncomfortable!!
