Rott itching licking
I have a 10 year old rott that has a licking problem on the right front
elbow because I think it's itching her. It got infected and dr. gave her keflex. The infection is going away but she has loss of hair and dry, swollen skin because she keeps scratching it until it bleeds. I cover it and have her in the halo and give her benedryl but it keeps itching her insanely. If anyone has any advice please let me know. |

Only way to tell is to do a fungal culture. Is there any soreness in the joint itself? buglady take out the dog before replying |

The itching problem could be the result of a food allergy. Eliminate
any food that contains Corn, Wheat or Soy. Good foods to try include www.canidae.com www.omhpet.com www.naturapet.com www.solidgoldhealth.com www.nutroproducts.com/ncultradog.asp |
