As you all know by now, Rocky has chronic itchies. Sometimes I think I know what causes it and other times I don't. Yesterday he had one of his best days. He had been getting progressiveky better and I was hoping for a nice run of scratch-free days. Yesterday afternoon I groomed Rocky including a vigorous brushing. This morning he is scratching/biting with intensity. He is really bothered. Nothing else changed in Rocky's routine, diet or external environment.
Two questions:
1. Could brushing irritate his skin and cause scracthing & biting?
2. What is the best way to treat winter itchies? I am inclined to give Rocky a MicroTek shampoo, but I am afraid a shampoo will just dry out his skin even more.
Thanks.
