I hope you know how to post pictures, because with such a large menagerie, we're gonna be bugging you for pics!
As for your dog--Benadryl helps with the itching? Does it also reduce the redness? It's likely an allergic reaction to something. Does it seem to be seasonal or all-year-round itching? Have you had him checked over by a vet? You might need something stronger than Benadryl to get the reaction under control. Meanwhile, what are you feeding him? Many dogs have allergies to corn or grains in their food--in that case, switching him to a higher quality food with less fillers might do him a world of good. And I agree with L4H--if you post your question in the health forum, likely more members will see it there! Good luck with your dog and welcome to the board! and don't forget the pictures!
