Hi, I know our pup Bobby is only 5 months old but I'm quite worried that he's showing symptoms of SM. Each morning he gets up and scratches his neck and the skin under his mouth for about two minutes in the morning. Its always the left side. He whines quietly while he is doing this. He'll then get up and shake his head and try to rub his mouth on the carpet. He'll scratch his neck maybe once or twice more during the day but he no longer whines when doing so. I mentioned it to the vet three weeks ago and he checked his ears for mites etc. He could find nothing wrong so he cleaned them and gave us some drops. However three weeks on he is still scratching (not as much as before, but still has discomfort). Yesterday when I looked at the video from sm.cavaliertalk.com (the first video on the page) it looked exactly like Bobby scratching. It breaks my heart that he might be showing signs . We're back to the vets on Tuesday for more vaccines so what questions should I ask them, especially if they are not familiar with SM?
