Itchyness

[wags]

Not quite sure what to say really

Cleo has been really itchy recently, so much so shes made the skin on the bottom of her back red

now ive no idea what can be making her itch so much
– no change of food
– no change in routine
– no signs of any fleas etc
– the skin isnt thickened, inflamed etc just a little redie/pink where shes been scratting

im going to bath her later – ive got some coal or cold tar shampoo (somewhere) i dont know if that might help

im a bit confuzzled  :-\

anal glands?

and you’ve made no changes to detergents etc? maybe heat rash? do dogs get those? or a stress thing?

[wags]

no nothing  :-\

[*Lassie*]

Aloe Vera on the sore bit
Fish body oil for a supplement for the skin and coat

Also Evening Primrose Oil,  is good for the skin I think,
Val or Kiz will know more than me

How old is she now time flies by in my world  ::)
I would bath her in the coal tar as that is good for skin things

shes 9

bathed her in cold tar – and will see what happens today
– she didnt talk to me for the rest of the day  😀

it must really be itchy though because shes not the sort to bother about things

not been anywhere could have picked up some sort of mite? how was she after the tar bath?
