I tried new shampoo for her, hot spot sprays and flea meds, our bug guy said we have no fleas but we have the place done every 6 mo since we live in an apartment. ANy suggestions? COuld she have some sort of allergy I'm not seeing? ANy replies will help. THanks

I'm wondering if she might have a food allergy. Even if you haven't changed foods, the food manufacturer might have changed their ingrediance. That is what happened with Pebbles, she was find and all of a sudden she started to scratch like crazy. Found out they changed the recipe so I changed food and now she is fine. Also, if you are giving a new treat that might be an issue with allergics as well.
