Just got back from taking Kayla to the vets and it seems she has an allergy to something. She definatlely doesn't have fleas or anything which I was sure she didn't anyway. The vet said the hair that is left is course which means she's been licking at it and it would be bold if it's just dropped out. The little pimples are an infection from her pulling and licking at her leg. She's had a shot of antibiotics and another of antihystermines to make her more comfortable. She also has a weeks course in tablet form of both antibiotcis and antihystermines along with some treatment for fleas, ticks, mites and lice just so we can 100% rule those out. She has to go back in 2weeks if she's still doing it and then we're looking into the skin scrappings to try to find out what the allergy is. My vet suggested that if in two weeks it's no better I could try changing her diet over to chicken and rice and see if it's the proteins in her food that is causing it, which I think I'm going to have to read up about food allergies.

She's wearing a head collar right now because I've not seen her licking so I don't know when she is doing it so tell her to stop so now she can't... she's less than impressed.
