Hi guys!
River is 6 months today actually and I've spent the better part of this evening trying to read through the threads here to see if anyone has experienced anything similar but here's what's going on...
This rash appeared, lower stomach/private area/back legs ONLY maybe a week ago. Which doesn't seem to bother her and we've been applying neosporin for a couple days. The only thing that's changed is she's all up to date on her puppy shots so we've taken her to some parks.
Saturday we took her on a puppy play date where she got pretty dirty so we gave her a bath. Then Sunday night we took her to a big block party and she was rolling around in the grass so we gave her another bath. Just noticed this evening her tail was all wet/sticky-ish and super red underneath at the tail pocket and smelly too so we've been wiping it out with duoxo pads and keeping it dry we're pretty sure this surfaced from not drying her enough after two baths two nights in a row
*******All day she's been RUNNING to a spot and quickly sitting down to bite at/lick the heck out of her back feet and kind of takes a second to rub her butt on the floor then she'll stop and do it again! And again and again and kind of whimpers here and there at us. Literally for hours. Runs, itches, stops, runs, itches, stops, whines. It's heartbreaking! She ate dinner fine and I got her to play with me a little bit but mainly she's just doing this! Some hives have appeared on her back (probably from being so stressed). Is this behavior from the tail pocket you think?? Because she was 100% herself with the whole initial rash....*******
She has a vet appointment on Wednesday night but I feel terrible letting her suffer the next two full days!! We gave her benadryl for the first time a few hours ago and plan to give more in the morning and tomorrow night and Wednesday morning if needed but I imagine she's miserable the way she's hustling around all night like she can't get comfortable even for one second!
Has anyone had any experience with this??
