My lil 4 month old is displaying symptoms I never saw in my other cavs.
1. Scratching at both ears quite often.
2. Scratching and biting at both her sides, sometimes - but not often to the point of pain.
The scratching happens quite a few times per day, I have an older dog of another breed who isn't scratching.
3. Discomfort when sleeping, ever so small moans/groans when she turns/moves.
4. She can't be stroked along her back without her back legs making scratching movements.
Concerned, I took her to the vet yesterday. He examined her and concluded the scratching was a normal puppy thing, her discomfort is her personality and the scratching movements are a scratch reflex. Well initially I was reassured but after reading more info on SM I am very worried and very disappointed at my vets advice :swear:. Also, her ears smell a little, nothing too offensive but again a symptom my other cavs never had, the vet said they were fine. Please........ your advice is soo welcome .
