Hey everyone
wondered if anyone could give me some advice please about Floee.
Firstly they are all off to the vet this Saturday to get checked over. Bella (as most of you know was born with a serious heart condition and only given a max of six months to live) shes now 7 years old and thanks to her daily medication is doing really well, but she's had a few coughs lately so is off for a check up incase she needs to up her medication or anything. I always worry as the vets told us she could actually just be playing one day and drop down dead!! :new_shocked:So i always get her checked at the slightest thing!
Mya suffers from blocked tear ducts and since the weather got colder in the last 2 weeks they seems to be playing up again so shes off to get more drops and to get it checked over again
Floee however is the puzzle.
Last Friday i noticed that she was biting away at her leg a lot. I had a look and couldn't see anything so didn't think a lot of it, just got her to stop. However now its almost complete bald!! She seems to have pulled the hair out??? They get their flea and mite treatment regularly, plus the other 2 are fine so im pretty sure its not that. I don't know if its down to allergies, or food or shampoo perhaps (although ive not changed food, shampoos, our washing powder etc) plus its only just on one back leg? It looks today as though the skin is a bit dry - but she let me put some cream on it, it doesn't seem sore or to be bothering her now as shes stopped the biting. Shes been eating and playing etc fine...its just the baldness. The weather has got very cold here and its been terribly wet, i dont know if maybe the coldness could cause skin probs or maybe its the heating in the house (we hadnt had it on for months in the summer)
I know the vet will be able to tell me on sat but i just wondered if anyone else has experienced this with their malt? Its very strange :blink:
thanks for any input xxxx
