Scratching all the time

[Catlady711]

You're not really saving any money by not taking her to the vet. While you may think you're saving $50 or so dollars now, might cost you $150 later.

With scratching like that she could easily get a skin infection which can spread to her whole body causing intense itching, discomfort and possibly make her sick. Aside from the fact that a skin infection like that will require several WEEKS of antibiotics to clear up, many of those skin infections are a Staph infection, which can be transmitted to humans.

The vet also has medications that will help with the itching your dog is feeling regardless of what the original cause is, and they are only available by prescription from your vet.

So for the sake of your dog AND you family, please take your dog to the vet. She will thank you for it.

She will be going this morning.

It seems the problem was indeed flea allergy. I really haven't seen any fleas around since I regularly treat my yard and I regularly treat the animals, but ..., there are a few fleas that manage to get in. She got herself a shot, and I put some Frontline on her, and now she seems much better. Thanks for everyone's advice!

She barks all the time. Bark! Bark! Bark!
