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.
