Looking lots better Jess I'm still wondering though what the source of irritation might have been? It almost sounds like a hot spot area or a response to some sort of allergen. Has your vet ever prescribed Benadryl for either of the pups? My Lab Jing used to suffer from hives and itching and the Benadryl helped a lot to relieve the itch/irritaion/inflammation. But hopefully in a day or two she'll be almost good as new Give dear Tasha Baby a big hug for me and please keep us updated
