I have a very similar problem with my chihuahuas.
So first you should take a look at everything, and see if all that looks fine:
What kind of a food do you feed her? High quality or low quality or home made?
A lot of dogs suffer from food allergies.
They suffer from grass and environmental allergies too.
I have noticed that grass and parks are being sprayed with dangerous chemicals right now, usually they post up a warning, like a small yellow flag saying the lawn has been chemically treated. My dogs would get rash or burns if they walked through that grass.
I bought some dog wipes and I try to wipe off their bellies and feet after a walk. Do you wipe off dirt and dust after being outside?
- Do you wash off the shampoo lather completely after giving her a bath?
- Is the shampoo gentle and natural or does it have a lot of chemicals?
- Does your chihuahua have fleas?
- How's her skin? Fine or peeling? Dandruff? Red spots? Do you check for foreign bodies stuck in her coat? Like stray pieces of grass or fox tail?
If her skin and paws look fine, her coat is nice and shiny, if she smells good and has no red spots or patches on her skin, then I would suggest you visit a vet, and they will help you. They will be able to tell you if she suffers from allergies and if you need to switch her food, or possibly will prescribe you a prescription hydrolyzed protein food if needed.
Have you tried any coconut or olive oil—“”natural things can smooth the skin- witch hazel or benedryl creams too- be sure to of course ask your vet 1st. Finding out of course what triggered the episode helps too. I’ve had pets allergic to flea medicine and also fertilizer and yard-I icides.
I have the same problem with my great Dane and pit bull dog. I'm wondering what else I can do to help him out.
