Miko had an allergic reaction awhile back...Two things were causing the problem simultaneously...I bought a new blanket and Miko had been sleeping on it...This was causing the horrible itching and pink skin...Once I removed the blanket and washed it in hot water and dye-free, perfume-free detergent, the itching stopped within a day or so.
The other thing that was causing him problems was environmental. We moved from an all tiled house with carpet only in the bedrooms to a home with all carpet and tile only in the bathroom and kitchen. Carpet holds a lot of allergens....I cleaned all the carpets, washed walls, etc...The respiratory/hacking cough/asthmatic issues stopped after this. |
I'm just so torn as to what's causing this with her. It's breaking my heart. She's now sitting beside me biting at the same spot on her legs NON-STOP! I just don't understand it. It started either yesterday or today, I suck at keeping track of when things start. The only new things that she has had in the past week to week and a half are:
-Wellness Food
-Yogurt Drops
-Laying on her new blankets she got in the GE
and I think that's it.
I did switch detergent and washed the couch blanket in it today but she's only laid on it once.
I cleaned all the carpets in the house before we moved in so I don't think it's that? I have no idea.
I'm taking her to get her nails trimmed tomorrow but it's not at our regular vet but I'm still going to ask them about this and what I can do. I wish I had some Children's Benadryl so I could give her some right now - that's how bad it is. Her legs are pink in the spots where she keeps itching/biting.
Thanks for trying to help everyone.
