| Biting at her skin Awhile back, when we first brought Ruby home, I posted a question about a hard place on Ruby's shoulder. It wasn't bothering her, I just noticed it when I was combing her. I was told it was probably scar tissue from vaccine injections. The vet even confirmed that. Well this morning I noticed her hair was all wet in this same spot and when I checked it out she had apparently been biting that same spot and made it raw. This surprised me because she has never bothered it before. I don't know why she all of a sudden noticed it. I cleaned it up and used a q-tip to put some Neosporin on it. So far she hasn't bothered it again but I have been watching her carefully. So I was just wondering if there is something else I can do for the spot itself and to keep her from biting it? |

| Could it be a hot spot? Is she prone to allergies? Ringworm?

| No she is not prone to allergies and it is not ringworm. It is definitely the scar tissue lump from her vaccines given by the breeder. The lump never went away and for some reason she has discovered it. |
