Thank you for the suggestions. I will take a closer look at her skin and make sure that it's not getting dry. I try not to bath Lu too often as I have heard that too often is just as bad as not enough, usually not more than once every 10 days or so. Unfortunately I live on the praries and so now that winter is coming the air is crazy dry and literally sucks the moisture right out of your skin. My own skin gets terribly dry this time of year, so it wouldn't be surprising if Lu's was doing the same. I hadn't really thought of that.
Thank you for the suggestion about Velus. I will do some reading about it and maybe see about getting a sampler pack.
I'm certainly not positive but I don't think Lu's itchiness is food related since it did improve somewhat when I changed products but that could have been completely a coincidence I suppose. The itchiness doesn't seem to last for more than a couple of days though and so I tend to think whatever is causing it wears off or she isn't continually exposed. Just so that there isn't a misunderstanding, it's not that she is crazy itchy, she just seems to scratch more than seems "normal" for a couple of days after her bath. That was what made me suspect the products.
Thanks again for the suggestions. |
