She turned a year old in July. But I'm thinking I might know what the problem is now. I gave her a bath yesterday and used the shampoo and conditioner from PetSmart that they used on her when they groom her. Last night I noticed her belly was all red and broke out. Then I realized the last time I took her to get groomed was when she started itching a lot. I just gave her another bath a few minutes ago with the shampoo I used to use. Hopefully that's the problem and it's nothing major. If it is, I'll just have to make sure they use a different shampoo from now on when I get her groomed.
