Itch, itch, scratch, scratch goes one of my new foster dogs, and I shudder inside and try to ignore what I think this is a sign of. . . yes, once again one of my “babies” has some kind of skin ailment. It’s not a super serious thing luckily, and most of my babies have been quickly treated, and quickly over the itching, but in the meantime they nearly dig themselves raw trying to get at the itch.
I’ve done a lot of reading about the various skin diseases dogs get, and can see that many of them (the ones my babies tend to get) are caused by low immune systems, which in turn are caused by poor nutrition, bad living conditions, or a combination of those things. Yep, that’s my babies.
And, once again we head out to the Shelter for shots.
