[Herschel]

I am not an expert but I have had a few problems with my dogs in the past. I had a Australian Sheppard years ago that chased her tail and chewed her back all the time. Her hair was a mess. I took her to so many vets it's not funny. I took her to be groomed one time and the lady asked about the hair issue and I told her about it and she said that dogs have the same gland as a skunk inside the anus and that if it inflames it has to be expelled. She did it when she groomed my dog and that problem was solved. Never happened again. I would see if that is what's wrong with your dog.

Also I have become an advocate for the Prey Model Diet. It is not expensive and is the best way to insure what y0or dog is eating. I have found that diet can be the MAIN cause of many problem are pooches are having. You can find the prey model diet online. If you have any questions about it I will be happy to answer for you.

Best of luck.
