[PyrNet-L] chewing off fur

["ARIEGE" <ARIEGE@xtra.co.nz>]

My guess would be that now the irritation is coming from the inside out so a
trip to the Vet and may be a blood test and also a skin scraping. Medication
can be prescribed by the Vet which will allow her to leave it alone. A
secondary infection may be present from the constant chewing. A hot spot
only need be the size of a pinhead and can be a dinner plate in hours if
constantly chewed at. If you are not happy with your Vet's diagnosis of
Bella's hot spot then seek another opinion,
Good luck, Jan
