Could it be a "hot spot" I have heard of dogs getting these and I think they give them abx cream but not sure. Maybe look it up on line and see if it looks like that. Nancy

I try to correct her and she remembers...for a few minutes...lol. Is it her pale coat? I try not to bathe her too often so that I dont dry her skin out. But she is my wild child and gets into everything. Her favorite place is under the gas grill, lots of grease. So baths once a week are usually necessary. I use sensitive skin shampoo and conditioner. We also use baby oil for massages. And we use baby lotion for dryness. She is quite pampered.

One is 6 and the other is 12. I tried everything, diet, creams, lotions, baths and nothing worked. They both receive a shot now every two months during the summer months and the problem has ended. It appears to be an alergy that only bothers them in the warmer months. Anyway that is what I have done. Hope you find some relief!

She constantly chews on herself and pulls her hair off her back end. We got rid of the fleas yet she continues. The skin is red and raw, flaky and crusty. We've tried lotions, sprays, everything. How can I help her? She's miserable. > > Have A Beautiful Day, Each And Every Day! >
