Ideas

Katy has been getting bitten recently by mozzies around her neck but doesn't seem to bother her too much. Bothers me more as I don't like her having lumps or scabs on her neck! But over the weekend her leg has been bothering her, chewing when she can get away with it! On her knee she has had a red patch which she will gnaw on if I don't catch her. I put savlon on it when she's sleepy so she doesn't lick it off, she's also on antihistamine every day. Can you suggest anything else I can put on it as I don't like using savlon where she can get to it as it's not good for her!

I have exact same probs with Vin atm give him piriton and sudacrem but have been using something called "stinky stuff" drops for his ears and the paste for rubbing in and also can be put in food as a supplement seems to be easing it xx

That's interesting Inez, I have Stinky Stuff in Katy's cupboard! But I only have the ear stuff Will look into it, thanks

Yes I only have recently got the paste give it a try xx

Anything is worth a go, the ear stuff is good! I love savlon but it usually goes on areas she cant get to

Poor baby, looks sore. I use natural paw paw ointment as it’s not so bad for them if they lick it. I have used it on Archie’s paws as they sometimes bleed after walks. Not so much anymore. My kids use the same for when their lips get really dry and cracked. It works.
Hope it gets better soon

I'd bathe with salty water, and if it doesn't clear within a couple of days, take her to the vet. You can't be too careful with Alabama Rot around!

There isn't any reports round here recently for Alabama rot Gilly but I will certainly keep a close eye on it!

Update, Katy's leg has healed up nicely She now has a very itchy bit around the side of her mouth which she kicks the hell out of at 3 in the morning making it raw!
Inez you suggested Stinky Stuff, I looked in Katy's cupboard tonight & found when I ordered the ear stuff I bought the ointment as well I forget what I buy half the time! So lets see how it works as I've just done the 1st treatment.

Thanks for the update, hope her mouth will clear up as quickly

Ooh fab you have some Jen let us know how its going I have also been giving Vin Kifir natural yoghurt on his food as was suggested that maybe a yeast in his tummy which comes out in skin and I must admit its 80% better no rubbing or scratching hardly at all xx

Hmm I'll see how it goes but that might be worth trying too Thanks Inez

Hows Katy and her scratching Jen any improvement? xx

Still scratching at the moment not quite as much so maybe it's working. Still waking me up at 3am scratching

Oh Katy
