Anyone’s doodle dealing with seasonal allergies?

[Christine]

Hi,

Nala will be 4 this August, and up until now I didn’t have any issues with her and the outdoors.  But she has developed seasonal allergies. Which is so sad, because she is itching like crazy and so uncomfortable.

I did bathe her with a special shampoo, and have just started an anti itch spray.  She is starting to loose hair on her paws from biting.  

I called the vet and they did recommend Benadryl, but I refused that.  So then they recommended Allegra.  1/4 of a 60 mg tablet, every 12 hours.  She is about 21 pounds.  

I gave the tablet last night, still itching away.

Anyone have any experience with this?  My kids have seasonal allergies, and the Allegra works wonders for them.   I was hoping it would have helped Nala, but from reading online, I’m thinking that dosage may be a little low?

Any help is appreciated,

Christine & Poor Miss Nala :(

Tylenol's "Simply Sleep" is just benadryl, too. Diphenhydramine.
