My dog can’t stop itching. I’ve given her Benadryl 3 tablets every 4 hours (as per my vet) what else can I do for the next couple days till I see a vet Monday.

Hello. You can bathe Serenity in cool water using an anti-itch shampoo containing either 1% hydrocortisone or Pramoxine. You may need to see if any of the pet retailers in your area carry these or try Nootie Oatmeal & Pramoxine shampoo available through Amazon. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
