| What could this be? I gave Piper a bath on Tuesday. Last night I noticed something in her fur when I was petting her. It's only 1 spot, but it looks like her skin is peeling. The skin was flaking in her fur. Could it be because I didn't get all the shampoo or conditioner out? I took her in the bath last night & rinsed her back area. She has a couple of sores & it still flacking in 1 area. This has never happened before, her diet hasn't changed at all. Should I take her to the vet? Or just wait & see. It doesn't seem to bother her, but mommy is worried. Can I put polysporin on it? Has this ever happened to anyone elses baby? I can't think of anything different except her bath. I use puppy shampoo & what ever conditioner I have. Please Help.

| Mazie and Kiki have both been VERY flaky lately. No sores....no itching....it's just like their skin is shedding layers. I haven't changed their shampoo, and no big changes in food. Maybe it's just the aftermath of winter/dry air???

| No, they don't look like bites. I have her on revolution. More like an irritation. It's just a patch the size of a quarter of flaky skin with a couple of red marks on her back.
