 Itchy skin - sharing a solution
Maya was itchy as well for a couple of months or more, and the vet checked a piece of her skin under a microscope and didnt find any mites.
Today I was playing with her hair and noticed she had a "ball" of hair near her neck, so I went and cut it. Then I started checking her entire body and found 15 of those hair knots! I am starting to think that this is why she is itchy! maybe those knots are pulling her skin and it bother her!?
I have to say that I comb her hair regularly with a hair brush and it runs smoothly on her exterior hair. but I never thought of going deeper with a comb and that is exactly what I did today. Surprisingly, she was so cooperative like she wanted me to help her with that. Reflecting back, I realize that in the past few weeks she was looking at the comb - now I know why.
Just wanted to share with all those who dont know the reason why their baby is itching so much. Maybe they have knots of hair that bother them? |
