I've been trying everything to curb the terrible itchiness my dog has had for the past couple of months. One of my attempts finally brought her some relief last night. I used Humaworm medicated cream ( http://www.humaworm.com/cream.html
). I started rubbing it in small areas, because I was worried it might burn (has menthol). She immediately relaxed and rolled into all different positions so I could get it on her all over her body. She licked me a couple of times while I was doing it, too. That was about 3 hours before we went to bed. Besides trying to lick it right away (told her no and she stopped), she didn't bite or scratch one time before going to sleep or during the night (it usually woke me up before)!!!! I put it on her again this morning. We'll see if it continues to work.
I was going to try the borax this weekend, but I will stick with the Humaworm cream for now since it is working.
