We're currently trying to figure out the potential cause of some minor dandruff and a second yeast infection in Caeda's ear (second one in about 2-3 months). She scratched, or bit her legs occasionally, but not much. Basically a little itch that went away easily.
This morning I noticed something odd. She slept with me last night and this morning she was scratching a LOT and biting at her legs/butt. Not making herself bloody or anything, or even taking fur off, but I've never seen her do that as much as she did this morning.
The only thing that occurs to me is that I washed ALL of my bedding yesterday, sheets, blanket, mattress cover and the big blanket that protects the bedding from "dog dirt". We also did go for quite the romp in the snow yesterday.....though its never correlated with the itching before.
Could she be allergic to the laundry detergent I used? Has anybody come across this as a sensitivity before? I'm washing the couch blankets today, so I'll use something else....that "might" help me track it down. I just never realized that it was something a dog might react to (silly me)
