Thank You! My 5-year old springer/cocker mix female (neutered) has chronic licking of paws, vulva & anus area - scratching at jaw line & ears. Advice given so far: she is 'atopic' (SP?) and there is nothing to be done except treat the symptoms. We have tried exclusive diet of non-allergen food, steroid by tablet, etc. The vulva/anus tissues are swollen and raw looking in places - have not applied topical treatment of any kind. Frustrated and concerned about symptoms/cause/treatment. Any offerings would be most welcome. Thank you from 'Cookie.'    Sue

Optional Information:
Age: 5; Female; Breed: springer/cocker/unknown father

Already Tried:
Non-allergen diet, steroid by tablet
