Hi! I am a new member. I recently went through a tough time with my 11 month-old Duffy, as he had terrible diarrhea/vomiting and blood in his stool. I must have gone through a hundred postings on this website to read about tips you guys had, and it was so helpful! We ended up going to the Emergency Vet, but the advice I got from this site inspired me to join.

While his diarrhea problem is getting a little better, I am noticing little patches of hair on my carpet lately. I notice him biting (rather hard!) at his back legs and sides. Sometimes he scratches pretty violently at his sides as well. He has never had any other skin/hair problems before, and I only wash him about every 2-3 weeks. I feed him NutroMax Puppy dry food (although he hasn't eaten that in about a week... he is spoiled with his "bland" diet of chicken/rice/yogurt from his illness.) Any ideas as to why he's doing this, and if I should be very concerned? Thanks so much!
