Gayle, I suggest you get on the Volhard Nutrition List. It's at [EMAIL PROTECTED] The scratching when the heat goes on indicates an internal out of balance condition that the folks on this list could probably help you with. Also, what do you feed? A controlled home prepared raw foods diet may be the thing. Maybe she needs a change of diet during those months the heat is on. Again the list mentioned above has some very knowledgeable people on it that I'm sure can help.
