Her first night with us, we were woken up at 3am by a crying pup because she didn’t want to sleep in her “mess”. So K and I spent the next hour bathing her and mopping the laundry floor…what a night!
Look at those paws!
A few months old.
Harrassing the dog next door.
A big smile for the camera!
Miss J is a cross great dane/bull mastiff and is the most placid dog you will ever meet – just make sure K or I have introduced you.
Today she had a vet appointment due for her annual shots and ongoing skin problems - always scratching to the point where she bleeds. We have been to four vets and all of them useless! So today we went to a new vet and she was absolutely wonderful. She explained what may cause the itchiness:
1. Mites
2. Food
3. Touch/Atopic
4. Allergies
So now it's a matter of elimination. Miss J has to get skin scrapings and is on special dog food. It’s going to be a slow process and could take up to 3-4 months to diagnose/ make a full recovery. Does anyone else have skin problems with their dog?

She's beautiful! I have a Great Dane- they really are the sweetest dogs. Our chihuahua is exactly the same- he scratches his ears til he bleeds but doesnt have mites- our vet thinks its allergies to the additives in his food- apparently they can develop them randomly at any time- so we have to try him on a food designed for sensitive dogs- unfortunately he's VERY picky, it took us years to find a food he likes! This should be fun..! Good luck, let me know how you go!
