Hi bettyanne:
Don't feel bad about replying. I think most newsgroups are slower during the busy summer months.
I just moved three weeks ago, after weeks of packing and have not been here awhile either.
I pray your family gets to feeling better, and that you
are taking good care of you!
I printed out your email and will ask my Vet about Repair, if this does not help. I just got the bottle of Leave-On Lotion that my vet gave me and it is called, "Virbac ResiHIST. I need to read up on it on the internet, but she told me not to use conditioner when I bathe her, and to just use ResiHIST.
I have not used it yet, as I just bathed her two weeks ago, and the vet said not to bathe her that often.
Thanks for replying,
Kate

Your post was a flashback to about a year or so ago for us. Toto began doing the same thing and was absolutely pulling "wads" of her hair out! The only thing different in her life was the new carpet we had installed in our home in AL! Dr. Lucy said that it had to be an allergy to the carpet ... she gave her antihistimine and a rinse for her hair called "Repair". It cleared it up in a matter of a few days! We did have to clean the new carpet which was much better than having it taken out, which was our first impulse! 
Recently I began having big matting problems with Toto's hair and was so desperate I was planning to have her "show coat" cut down to a puppy cut! I have tried every product that has been recommended on the forum! I remembered one of Dr. Lucy's techs saying that "Repair" was the best conditioner she had ever seen and that you could practically leave it in without rinsing! I tried it last month after we got home and I am absolutely amazed! Her coat is sooo easy to brush now that I have decided to leave it full length and Toto loves being brushed again!!!  |
