She has only had one so far and it was about two months ago. he gave her a shot, some antibotics and a dose pack of steriods. I let her go too long because i thought it was just fleas this time. She has done this for years but has recently, in her old age, gotten worse. She digs so hard, it is like someone knocking at the door. She has eaten off most of her hair from her hips back and had raw spots like "hot spots". She was soooo miserable I had to do something. The vet had told us years ago that she had a lot of allergies but I had forgotten it. My hubby insists on feeding her some food off the table and the vet says that has a lot to do with it. This time, she had a funny odor which he said was infection inside her, hence the antibotics. Seems like just a few days after she finished her steriods, she started digging again and it is picking up every day. I am going to ask him this time to put her on monthly shots. I am a nurse and I can do it here at home if she doesn't eat me up. He had to muzzle her. She is 15 or 16 years old and is sooooooo grouchy, you wouldn't believe it but my pug, that is one and a half, aggravates her to death.
