My Gidget bites herself, too. The vet has told me it is a nervous tendency in small dogs and he wanted to prescribe her Amitriptyline for obsessive/compulsive behavior. I really did not want to go that route and I know for a fact it is not her food, so I treat the bites with zymox topical ointment, it is relatively cheap and you can get it two day shipping through amazon. It works wonders for the sores and to keep them at bay I use the zymox shampoo and rinse and it seems to really help, so like you I do not think it is a nervous tendency, I think it is environmental! |
