Donating YT 500 Club Member | "tickle-spot"??? Is it normal for Bridget to have suddenly developed "tickle spots" everywhere. She's about 1.5 years old and just within the past week or so has become super sensitive to being touched anywhere on her body from her neck to her tail. Her little legs in the back get going like she's trying to itch. She always had one spot - but there is not a spot on her (other than her head) that can be touched without this reaction. She's acting just fine as far as eating, playing, pooping, and peeing. She doesn't yelp as if she's in any pain and doesn't try to move away when she's touched. I just don't know if this is something I should take her to the vet for. Anyone familiar with this?

| Uni got a tickle spot on her right side. When I brush her she kind of concaves her body make the brush bristles touch her less, if that makes sense. She still has her "oh yeah right there" scratch zones where she kicks her feet when you do it right LOL. Not sure why she's doing it either. Haven't brought it to the attention of our vet, didn't think it was a big enough deal. They think I'm anal enough as it is.

Donating YT 500 Club Member | lol - thanks - I think I run to the vet with the girls more than I ran to the doctor with my skin kids! Bridget has always had a "spot", but now it's her entire body (back, sides, tummy)- I guess that's why I got nervous. Thanks for your response!

Donating YT 500 Club Member | Does anyone think it could be a reaction to Frontline?

| Does it seem to be bothering her? I don't use Frontline on Rosie. But maybe it could make her more "sensitive" in areas. Not sure about that but I have different reactions to flea and tick meds! You may ask your vet to see if he/she has ever heard of anything like this.

| If this just started after applying Frontline then I would think there could be a connection. Girl, I am at the vets all the time. I understand about office calls. Lol. Hope your baby gets to over this and momma gets peace of mind!

| I think the reason we go to the vet's a lot is because our furbabies can not tell us what is going on. We notice every little thing. We are grooming, petting, holding, playing with, sleeping with them 24 - 7. We prob. know their body better than our own. |
