Child Has Itchy Chest, Legs And Stomach. Taking Benadryl And Claritin. Any Alternate Cure?

Thanks,
XXXXXXX
I dont claim to be a Vet & am unclear if they do have a couple on this web site. I am a consultant dermatologist & deal with the homosapien species. However, this query was posted on my window/wall & as i did once have a cocker spaniel (albeit long ago), I empathise with your predicament & your pet's & hence the reply.
If my clinical hunch is right, it is very possible that your dog ails from Sacbies or mange. Please try applying a sustance called 5% Permethrin creme' rinse all over the trunk & torso & limbs..cover him from head to toe & leave it on his skin for a minimum of 30 mts to an hour..4-6 hrs if possible & then wash him off. You may repeat the excercise in a week.
Am hoping this will take care of his problem pronto & all will be well. If not, your best bet will be a good Vetenarian near you @ ground 0.
Good Luck & Godspeed!
