Many thanks for your helpful suggestions. I have some reading to do on that thread to see if I can find help for her.......I did look around before I posted but I missed that thread......

I have a Lab w/allergies so this is why I'm always researching something on the internet having to do w/dogs, allergies, diseases, etc. etc. & why she always comes to me for help.

Last vet just put her on a/b because the mess on her skin is getting infected. She also said she cut up a T shirt & put that on w/an E collar to try to keep her away from it.

I will keep reading all over this forum to see if I can come up w/some suggestions for her........& many thanks from her too. She is a nervous wreck right now (plus her mother is in a nursing home & not doing too well) so my heart really goes out to her. I just don't know what to tell her to do!!!!!!! I thought if I could find something to make Vicki more comfortable, that would lessen her stress just a tad.

Thank you for the nice welcome.........
