Zachary’s constant itching

Since we have been camping Zachary has been itching. He is on a flea and tick meds, so we ruled out that cause. We try to walk around them, but there are ants all over and it is almost impossible to not walk near them. We thought he might have been bit by some ants, so we have given him a bath and rinsed him with an anti-itch rinse, no luck. With Westie hair being double coated, it is tough to see problems on their skin.

As last resort, we took Zachary to the vet for suggestions. We were afraid he was going to scratch himself raw, if we did not treat problem. After checking him all over and not finding fleas, ticks or ants, the Vet recommended a prescription to help his itching. So baby boy is taking Chlorpheniramine, it seems to help.

For the record, Zach is now 6 pounds, 8 ounces.
