| Pull her hair out? I don't know what to do Lucy is pulling her hair out on her her back, back legs & stomach. She pulled her hair out when she was about to have the babies last year but, she is not prego. Why would she be doing this and what can I do to get her to stop? |

| Is it possible that she has dry itchy skin, or maybe an allergy to something. Have you tried a shampoo and conditioner for problem skin, like one with oatmeal or some oil in it. Mink Sheen pet shampoo has different oils in it, also Espree shampoos and conditioners are very good for skin conditions |

Donating YT 1000 Club Member | My Mandy did this until I started using Relief Creme Rinse and NuSalt Shampoo. It was a dry skin issue. She also now gets a teaspoon of V3 oil everyday.

| She may be having a false pregnancey. Too bad you can't tell her differently. With dry skin they usually just do a LOT of scratching. I'd call and ask the Vet. what you can do.

Her skin doesn't feel dry. I have been using a shampoo for dry skin because I know that in the winter my skin drys out easily. I wonder if she is allergic to it. But, wouldn't she would loose her hair in other places also? TY for the advice I will call the vet and ask her what I should do. | |
