Give him Weetabix with hot milk. Apparently used to love it before going out to keep wicket for England.

How long have you two been an item?

Seasonal allergies leading to yeast infection in the ear and hot spots on the skin. Happens to one of our Retrievers. Ear cream from the vet and OTC allergy meds (Benedryl or something similar). We use this for putting on the hotspots https://www.bagbalm.com. But have heard that this from Burts Bees is also good. https://www.burtsbeespets.com/soothing-hot-spot-spray
If you have some, dab Apple Cider Vinegar mix (1 part vinegar to 20 water ) and apply with cotton wool and let dry.
Hope this helps.

Give him an anti histamine. One of our two is allergic to long grass and gets itchy and red.

from personal experience that our little dog suffers occasionally from pollens and our vet advised Piriton which did the trick

Below is taken from a website called DogsBarn.com

Piriton is perfectly safe for dogs and is often recommended by vets as an alternative to prescription drugs to ease the symptoms of allergies, as long as the correct dosage is adhered to and the tablets or syrup are administered correctly.

Piriton can be used as a long-term solution for uncomfortable, chronic allergy symptoms and has the benefit of having few side effects.

There is no cure for allergic reactions, so the best course of action is to remove the offending allergen from the environment if at all possible. If your faithful friend has a reaction to your cleaning products for example, change them without hesitation. Unfortunately, for dogs suffering from hay fever type symptoms as a result of exposure to grasses and pollens, this can't be avoided.

Dog owners can try to help alleviate some of the irritation by being aware of the causes and finding ways to offer some relief. This is where Piriton Tablets can help.

I think you may find that homeopathic is not 'the lot'. Its just some, and also it is infinitely diluted. For something equivalent.....have you tried prayer?

On a more constructive note, antihistamines can take several days to start having effect, so you need to be patient and persistent. :thumbsup:
