I don't know if your vet told you to do this. But, my vet had me do this to one of my girls who developed a staph infection. Bathe your girl every 3 days in a very cool bath, as cool as she can stand it. Blow dry with cool air. This helps control the itching as well as kill the staph.

Yes, DEE DEE does have it bad, Tootsie only has 3 small bumps on her underside...thanks for the tip~I will try bathing her every 3 days and see if that helps...
