 Red Hot Skin
Saturday my husband and I took our yorkie Kinder outside we just sat outside. I ran Kinder on the cement driveway I do not want her on the lawn. We live in the country coyotes pee in the grass etc. Anyways 2:30 am Sunday which is yesterday she started scratching and could not sleep. All day Sunday her skin got red and hot feeling. Her privates swelled and very red around it. I called my vet and told me to put her on Benadryl but by 9:00 pm she was scratching and crying. We brought her in at 9pm and she was given a steroid shot. I was told to keep her on the Benadryl but still today she is itchy. She had no temperature and my doctor thought it was a bug bite. I know the flies were biting and drawing blood but I am puzzled. She has been chewing by her leg but I really can not find a spot. I feed her Fromms Whitefish and Potatoe. Has anyone gone through with this? I know 2 years ago she had this happen in July but the steroid shot cleared her up. She is 6 years old and my fur baby we are so worried. Susan |
