you are exactly right I thought of that she is very low to the ground. I cancelled my yard service so no chemicals are in the yard. Ive put a onsie on her when she goes out to protect her stomach-something funny...one day she ran out and I forgot to unsnap it and she pee-peed anyway I felt like I had a newborn on my hands! My vet gave me a allergen free can food from presc. diet to begin with her. I dont think its food related but Im trying everything. I have seen her in the past try to eat grass, or sprouts from the bird seed that fell, but she had never developed a rash from anything prior to this. I have an appt on the 27th with a 2nd dermatologist I found, after that if I dont get any results Ill have to go to the Univ. of Fla. Vet. clinics. I hope they figure this out soon(thats what Im asking santa for xmas
