My 7 year old female called Tanja has some problems.
Uncontrolable scratching of belly and under chin ( keeps rubbing it on the carpet ),
Skin on belly has turned dark with dark pink on outer areas,
Loss of hair all over belly, armpits and dry skin on elbows of front legs,
Nipples seem to be larger than normal, although they are usually covered by hair so not sure,
Constant licking of front paws.
She is on Hypoallergenic dry food mixed with 200gms of Hills Science Plan tinned food but no change. My neighbour said it could be seasonal or central heating ( which i've now switched off ) or i could be the heat built up from her body laying on carpet.
Is there a limit to how high the central heating should be before it's too warm for the dog?
Another friend suggested it could be stress related or anxiety, what symptoms should i be looking out for?
Thanks for your time
Sue
