Geez, folks - this dog has so many issues! But I am willing to do whatever it takes because she derseves a good life!
My rescue dog, Flea has been scratching for a long time. It seems to be concentrated on her eyes, backside, paws.....Her coat has gotten thicker, longer and shinier since I switched to a high grade food...and she's on a different hypoallergenic food now, so we'll see if that helps. But now--just in front of her ears, her hair is thinning to the point where she is going to go bald. I have also noticed dandruff. I have read that symmetrical baldness can be a problem with chis, believe it or not. I am hoping it's from the scratching...but WHO KNOWS?
I am taking her to a dermatologist specialist soon.
I'm going nuts in the meantime.
ARGGGGGHHHHHHH. (THUD)
