So took him to the vets and had blood test incase he has an allergy, but all came back ok. He sometimes scratchers that bad that he is loosing hair and making him self sore. so any ideas lads when did he start bud, can ya remember roughly what stage of development he was at, how often is he out , the reason i ask is because dogs can exhibit all sorts of behavior not generally related to the issue at hand, eg the lifting of a hind leg while walking show by many Russels which is down to a physical memory from long before and not a present injury, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
s horsfield 7 Posted September 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 he was about 8 month old when it started, and hes out every day with my other two terriers and there ok. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
