I really have no idea but it is a possibility that her immune system isn't working quite right, so she can't fight things off. If that were the case though, I would think sense Diggy had clostridium also, he would have mites. So it is hard to say what is going on.

When you give Bella a warm bath now with her new shampoo, does the itching get worse during/after it?

If she is having problems going on grass and doesn't want to, I would be concerned that it is bothering her...

Bella tore thru the grass like there is no tomorrow up until this. she REFUSES to walk on it. she hikes her leg on the edge to pee on it and runs. she walks up and down the sides walks and drive way whereas she used to run thru the grass every chance she got!

The first bath she seemed to get relief from. Second bath no change from before and after. She was already in the middle of an itching frenzy which triggered me giving her a bath trying to soothe her

how do i build up immunity?
