Kim, Butter has had the same problem, off and on, for over a year. Not a flea on him, but he chews and licks his fur right off in spots on his body (not nearly as severely as Tucker has), but he pulls and licks so hard that he starts bleeding. Dr. Robinson determined that it is allergies. No fleas, but we do use Frontline Plus on him to keep them away. About every 3-4 months, I've had to take him in, get an injection, and he clears right up! We were just in there last week. Most of Butter's sores on on his legs, chest, sides and hindquarters, but never his tail!

Thank goodness for that magic shot, as it seems to "fix" him every time. We did change food and it seemed to help for a while, but lately, he started back up, so obviously it wasn't the food after all.

I hope Tucker will be better soon.
