 itching
Mayme has been scratching and licking her paws since this summer. It has progressively gotten worse and here lately I've noticed that she has lost hair around her back leg knees. She will mainly just bite her knees, lick her front paws, and try to bite around her rear end. I'm really concerned now that she has begun to loss some hair.
One vet told me she had a flea allergy - well....she doesn't have fleas..never has. Another vet told me she was too young for allergies (she's 2)..and another has told me to give her benedryl. The benedryl has relieved her somewhat. She doesn't really bite herself but still scratches quite a bit.
I'm guessing that she has allergies. She is a liver compromised dog so she must stay on her Royal Canin Hepatic diet. Does anyone have any natural remedies or any other ideas to help her find some relief? A google search brings up a product called Skin-Eze but I'm very cautious and wondering if anyone has used this and/or heard of it?
Thanks for your ideas and suggestions in advance!
