Awwwww.... You're poor baby, I know first hand how aweful they feel from this and it's horrible not being able to find a solution. I had the same problem with my Maltese, poor baby scratched so much her coat looked as if she was being riden so much it wore her hair off
I tried everything I could on my own as I didn't want to subject her to allergy testing.
One night before bed I was going to spritz her as she just seemed so stinkie, something on her neck caught my eye and I picked her up!
Her neck was completely RAW
Of course dh and I freaked and wrapped her up (poor baby) she looked as if she just had surgery...LOL.
The next day I went to the dollar store and bought infant footies and I used the colored medical tape (pink) to keep them on her feeties! At first I had to put on two on each foot so her little nails didn't dig through the socks. Next I had to cut her down to a short teddy bear cut, broke my heart but I had to do what was best for her. I was living in Las Vegas and it is sooooooooo dry there I'm sure it only made matters worse for poor Shy'la. I rewashed all her bedding, throw rugs and what ever I oculd get into my washer in dreft (it's specifically for babies
). I also cleaned my carpet a few times (what a back ache
), I know that if it's pollen they are having a problem with, it gets on their coats and they bring it in with them. Shy'la did pretty good as long as I kept her coat short once all her booboos healed, but it was a long process. Today we live in Oklahoma and I am fighting the urge to let her coat grow out as it's much more humid and her skin looks fantastic! I'm afraid growing her hair might trigger skin irritations
Try the booties, it helped Shy'la heal and kept her feet away from her fur and skin.
Best Wishes for your baby, keep us posted on how she's doing!
