She doesn't have fleas, mites, or mange either. Do you have to get the ResiCort and Chloropheniramine tablets at the vet?
Should I go ahead and take her in? It's not terrible or anything...just enough to bother her I guess...

He told me to bathe her every 3 to 4 weeks gave me a bottle of ResiCort which is a hydrocortisone lotion you massage on after misting with water and Chlorpheniramine tablets. If this doesn't take care of it he will move on to more test and steroids. He said one of the dangers of them scratching is breaking the skin and getting a staph infection. The scratching also thins their hair |
