I try to be careful around her face not to get too much in her ears and eyes. So it could be that I just missed a spot so it's a little irritated now. Still not liking the shampoo I have at the moment. My SIL gave it to me awhile back, she works at a groomer and sometimes she'll have stuff at her house her boss gives her. I just think we need something better.
Well... we fought her ear infections for over a year until we came to NM and found a really good vet. She sent us to a dermatologist where she was first put on a food allergies trial with a rabbit and potato diet. Since she still scratched (it was better though) he did a test for environmental allergens and that's we found out that so many things affect her. Now she gets 'Atopica' pills and also an allergen regiment with shots.
