She continues to rub her head and behind on the floor or the pad and seems to just stare at me when I take her into her room with the pad. I am totally perplexed and with so many issues going on I know I sound like a complete lunatic.
Her hearing seems fine, probably due to her age not as great as it had been, but she still follows all I say at a regular level voice. She is simply acting weird. She is eating, but still hesistant about her bowl, same but to a lesser degree with her water.
She isn't on benadryl and I am putting off even going for the new food and pill. I did make an appt with Dr. Peterson but he will be out of the country until her appointment on the 28th.
Funny also how Reese doesn't seem to do these things when my husband comes home, which really makes me look like a bigger nut.
Has anyone had a dog scurring around on their behind or rubbing her face from side to side on their pad or floor. I usually think that means ear infection, but her ears seem to be doing better. Now the problem seems to be more in her behind or her vaginal area.
Help please!!!! At this point I should probably pick that anti anxiety pill up for myself. |
Aw, you poor girl
....it's so hard to not know what to do, but hang in there.
Do you have any diaper cream, hydrocorisone cream, or benadryl cream on hand? If you do, I would try this on her itchy parts; make sure you rub it in well to avoid her licking it off. It may help alleviate just a bit...maybe just take a small edge off for her. There is also hydrocortisone spray you can get at pet stores and perhaps in the human section of regular drugs stores.
With the rubbing of the head...hard to say...could be ears like you're saying, or teeth, or eyes -- maybe press around on her teeth for any sore spots; pull down her bottom lid of eye to check for irritation.
Things will get better for you both, I just know it
