just wondering if anyone has experience of their cav having an intense itch that isn't related to SM? Bella, 3 plus, seems to have an intensive itch on her left side only,looks like she's scratching around her ribcage with her back leg. she does it every day and i've posted up before as I am worried it could be caused by SM but I would like to rule out any other cause first. I only have her since November and I know nothing of her history.Vet suggested bathing her with malasab/hibiscrub twice a week and initially we had 2 full days of no scratching and then it returned,i carried out the washing for 3 weeks and then gave up. I frontlined her also. She has no visible skin irritation or walking dandruff. The other day I washed her in normal shampoo and the itching got worse so i've gone back to the hibiscrub again and I intend trying this again twice weekly for the next few weeks. It has me almost gone mad worrying about her. She doesnt display any other SM symptoms like yelping or anything,but when we go out eg to the vets she really stands out as she constantly scratches making a thumping noise on the ground with her back leg,maybe it's a nervous thing?? Dont know where to go from here if the bathing doesnt relieve her,please help!
