Checked her fur today and there doesn't seem to be any fleas. This would have roayally sucked since I do NOT want to give the cats a flea bath. Our cats + water = me She seems to be scratching less today.

Thanks for the advice. You guys rock! I'll try the benadryl and will use baby wipes in the future. I'll look closer for fleas tomorrow once the sun is out. I tried looking into her fur earlier today but didn't see anything. I'll look again. This might be a stupid question, but wouldn't I get fleas too from hugging her? Can people even get fleas? I'm itchy now...

Nope - no bath and no flea prevention. How can I tell if she has fleas? Are they visible to the naked eye? She loves to lie in the grass. Jiffer - does benadryl have any negative side effects for dogs? I'd have to give her non-drowsy or she might never stop sleeping!

Lily has been quite itchy the last couple days. Seems to be all over; nibbling on her hips, scratching her neck and ears. No noticeable rash or anything and she doesn't yelp or make any other noises (except scratching noises). Now I notice that her ear is red from her claws scratching it - looks like red lines (I don't have my camera right now, or I'd take a photo). We haven't introduced her to any new treats or food lately and she has been eating the same meal for the past 6 months: Eagle Pak (blue bag) with a 1/4 yogurt in the morning and a sprinkling of Wysong dental powder and in the evening she gets the same thing except we substitute two fish oil pills for the yogurt. We took her to the lake last week end and she was marching in the water up to her chest and there was quite a bit of pollen in the water (you could see it floating). I'm guessing it's not Poison Ivy since I'm sure I would have it too, if that were the case. She has a bit of dandruff, but not as much as she did in the winter and she scratched waaaaay less then. Any idea on what it might be or how I can help relieve the itch?

So glad Connor is diagnosed and hopefully he will start to feel better soon. Your posted video was so hard to watch . I'm sure once your neighbor knows why poor Connor is screaming he will be a little more tolerant of the noise. I'm sure you don't need the added stress of angry neighbors right now either. :grouphug can't wait to hear that he is feeling fine.

She is a beautiful little girl! Congratulations. Oh, and I LOVE her name (I'm only a tad biased )

He is very cute! Congratulations!

Poor Connor. Hope you are all hanging in there and especially hope all turns out well in the end. Hugs for everyone.

Ticks are nasty. Picked the first of many, I'm sure.

Susan, what horrible news. I am so sorry. He is such a special boy. I'm speechless. Hugs for everyone.

Ticks are so gross. Not looking forward to picking them off Lily... gonna go memorize the list FireHorse posted.
