Jack and the Scratch!

 For days Jack has been scratching, licking, chewing,  rubbing, and generally acting CRAZY. He is even getting on Sherrill's nerves. I brushed him out real good, no fleas, but did have reddened areas where he had been scratching as well as some "no hair" areas. He just went to the vet a month or so ago. So....off to Google I go (one of my main sources of information).
   This is what I found:
A dog suffering from allergies may demonstrate one or more of the following:
? Excessive scratching of their body

? Spinning on their bottom (once worms have been ruled out)

? Chewing on their feet

? Rubbing their face on furniture and carpeting

? Recurrent ear infections

? Hair loss
      Jack has ALL of these problems, except the ear infections. Looks like he might be going in for some Prednisone!
