I am struggling with Allergies with my Dee Dee - has anyone seen this before

lovmyyorkie · 07-16-2007, 01:17 AM

Debbie,

Is this from scratching or did she wake up like that?

ChestersMom · 07-16-2007, 02:53 AM

Oh My, that looks painful. I've never seen anything like that. Looks like a trip to the vet is in order. Hope all is well soon.

My goodness, I ahve never seen anything like that. I feel so sorry for her, that has to itch and burn so bad. Have they figured out what is causing the allergies? Poor thing?

OMG, that looks painful. Poor baby. My shihtzu (okay, this was like 18 years ago...memory might not be perfect) had something like that on her neck once, turned out it was an allergic reaction to a new collar

Her's was actually seeping and seemed to appear overnight. Have you used a new collar, t-shirt, etc. on your baby in the last couple of days?

no collar and wearing tshirt and sock around neck to protect it as when i take it off she itches it raw like that within 10 minutes - she has allergies real bad and is now going to a dermatologist - we have been dealing with vet after vet and holistic vet for 2.5 years - she is on atopica and temaril p and still does this to herself time to time

Has anyone done blood work for what she may be allergic too?

Is it worse in the summer or the winter?

Do you wash her bedding and clothes with a no dye soap?

Poor baby, I can't help, but want to give my well wishes. Otis chews around his tail all the time and is on hydroxyzine twice daily. But it doesn't look like that. Good luck, I know your frustrated!!! Hang in there.

Debbie,
I just answered your pm and now see the photo, I am so sorry I have not seen this before as I said in pm our prayers are with you and this little one.
Keep me posted.

What do you wash your floors with? One of my girls is allergic to Clorax floor cleaner and Pinesol. She scratched herself raw before I figured out the problem. I hope they can figure out what is going on.

My little boy, Hobbs, scratches his neck raw like that sometimes. What I did was shave his neck (you cannot even tell really) and rub coconut oil on it and rub it on there a couple of times a day until the scab goes away. I have been keeping his neck shaved and he hasn't scratched it since.

My sons dogs both have bad allergies that look like that from their constant scratching and chewing on their feet. He takes them to a dermatologist and my son has to give them shots...which seems to help. Good luck. Poor baby looks miserable. Patty
