dude, dont give him/her any medication that the vet didnt subscribe. i wouldnt worry to much seeing at the picture. its most likely on the weather if its too hot. i wouldnt stressed these enough...try to check your dog by yourself and see what happens. 1st. give her a lot of vitamin-c, change her diet purina sucks too if your going to ask me, check the ingredients if its chicken and has corn content stay away from it. believe me it would cost you cheaper on medication and such. like i said again byproducts meaning the meat used are not human grade (roadkill, double-dead animals anything you couldnt eat) 3rd buy a medicated shampoo. clean her surroundings. make sure to follow the instruction of the dog food at the back if hes active then follow it, if he doesnt get a lot of exercise then give her less...believe me!!! change her dog food to canidae lamb meal it cost more but if you check the feeding schedule at the back panel compared to your alpo or purina the recommend ammount per serving in a day is less, you pay more you feed less. you only feed once a day thats it. how old is your dog? if he/she is 5-6 yrs older switch to senior. protein is playing a big roll in our dog its the most common problem that we dont see, im pretty sure you need to change your dog food,

I use shampoo formulated for dry flaky skin and is supposed to be non irritant. shes 10 Mos old and very active. She eats like 3 cups a day. I will check the ingrediants and report back.

medicated shampoo my men...and regualar bathing is a no no too, thats just going to make hes skin more dry, once or twice a week is recommended. make sure you use hose for getting rid of soap debris. give her less for awhile i think thats too much feeding i have canidae life stages (meaning for puppies to senior) with 21% crude protein. so hes already an adult and not considered a puppie no more so you feed him less. unless hes actively on exercise. here is what your dog should weight:
HEIGHT AND WEIGHT
The American Pit Bull Terrier must be both powerful and agile so actual weight and height are less important than the correct proportion of weight to height. Desirable weight for a mature male in good condition is between 35 and 60 pounds. Desirable weight for a mature female in good condition is between 30 and 50 pounds. Dogs over these weights are not to be penalized unless they are disproportionately massive or rangy.

the recommend feeding on my dog food with 21% crude protein is 1-2 cups a day from the desired average standard weight of your dog which is 30-50lbs. remember a puppie needs more protein growing up as he matures you need to feed her less on food and less protein depending if hes active or not. more protein means more energy stored in hes body, the more chance he does not use the energy its going to affect hes kidney due to salt build ups, itching and scratching are known to these kind of situation.

personally i never gave my dog benadryl nor my vet prescribed me benadryl. but if the other guy said its safe then i wouldnt argue with it. if it is safe then hes most likely to heal faster than what i was advising you. im only to give you advice so these doesnt occur again and seeing that you care for your dog, im just saying you want the best for your dog just follow the simple steps and youd be greatly rewarded with a happy best friend.

Your dog probably has dry skin and is hypoallergenic. Or is having a reaction. Yes benedryl is ok for dogs in small doses. Most medicine prescribed by vets is just smaller doses of human drugs. Or renamed versions. Just avoid aspirin..
Good luck bro.

should I pull the pill apart and sprinkle half in her food once a day?

Ya you don't ever wanna give animals full doses as they might have a not so positive reaction. Give her half a dose and wait it out then another one 10-12 hours later. If it starts to get better work on changing her food then getting to a vet asap. She might just have dry skin and need some lotions or pills that are pretty cheap. Most vets don't charge just to "look" at your animal.
