[QUOTE="Kjs, post: 59145"] Thanks everyone. I did call and take her to the vet. Saw a different doctor this time. He was very thorough. He shaved the area, very large area. Checked anal glands..not it. Took a fine comb and combed her entire body, didn't find anything. The area on her tummy, near her hind legs is also red, but skin not broken as with the back. He said allergies. He thinks it is an inhaled allergy. We did have problems in the spring with her sneezing internal and external sneezing non stop. He put an ointment on her, then sprayed the area with something. Gave her an injection of cortisone and antibiotic. Very infected, smells awful. I gave her an oatmeal bath yesterday and didn't notice anything. It was a new shampoo and she needed a bath. Anyway, she is now on antibiotics, steroids and antihistimine as well as her thyroid medicine. Vet wants her on antihistimines continuously. He said we can stop for short times, but as soon as we see her itch we need to start it back up. He said if it ends up being a year round allergy then we need allergy testing. I am going to look into a different type of dog food. Thanks for all the advice. [/QUOTE]
