| Need suggestions for Layla When I got home from visiting family last Monday I noticed Layla had what looked like two little scabs- each very tiny and circular- right next to eachother on her upper arm- a little lower than her armpit- but on the front of her leg. This isn't unusual- i thought maybe it was a bug bite or maybe she was itchy and bit herself when chewing. Anyways- she won't leave them alone- she is always chewing at them and now the area is a bit swollen. Is there anything i can do to keep her away from the area? like wrap it in something? I know if she will just leave it alone it will go away... but at night i'll wake up to the sound of her chewing on it .... any suggestions are great! |

| Do you have a shirt with sleeves that would cover it? You could also use the dreaded e-collar. If you can stop her from getting to it but it is itchy, maybe cortizone would make her feel better. If you are concerned about infection, neosporin. I don't see any reason why you couldn't wrap it but it sounds a bit difficult.

| Maybe a vet can give her something to stop the itching... Pixie had got into some ants and they gave her some anti itch medicine that worked great.

| Marci, I can't remember the brand name of it, but we had a Schnauzer that was allergic to grass and would get little bumps on her skin.........and we used an oatmeal spray that really was soothing for her. It was easy to use, safe, and it "cooled" the affected spots in addition to easing the itchiness. Good Luck!

| I wonder if you could put some aloe-vera on her? That always helped when I had burns or insect bites. And it wouldn't hurt her if she licked any off.

| You can fold a washcloth and wrap it around her neck to make an inexpensive version of this collar: Bite Not Collar - Dog.com |
