Do you live close to or in an area where ticks are found? I thought they were found mostly in wooded areas? |
Ok, thanks. Angel has two whiskers under her chin that are close together. I felt the area today, and I noticed a lump there. Is this normal? The lump moves under the skin when I move it with my finger.
I'm not aware of ticks being in my area (Yonge & Sheppard), and I'm not sure where ticks are found.
TCC bought Earthbath Oatmeal and Aloe shampoo, which we used on her today, but we still used the PP conditioner. We're going to see if the oatmeal shampoo reduces her scratching. If the shampoo doesn't do anything, we'll try Missing Link.
The salesman at Happy Tails Dog Spa where the shampoo was bought asked what the problem was and we told him. He said their store is a holistic store. He said it could be her food (we feed her Nutro Max Mini Chunk and Max Chicken, Lamb and Rice). The dry food has corn gluten meal and wheat in it, but a lot of people on YT say Nutro is a good brand. He gave us a sample of Wellness Super5 Mix Puppy. I'm not sure if we're going to feed this to her or not. He said if we feed her the Wellness and it doesn't change her condition in 2-3 months, we could try Microtek (sp?) anti-itching spray.
