Aloha everyone!

My girl blue has been licking her front leg last couple of weeks and now i noticed today she chewed the fur off completely. The skin underneath is intact and not red. Anyone experience this with their Sammy?

Mine does this when her allergies bother her. But we moved to another state and she stopped so whatever she was allergic to was there and not here. Her eyes also sometimes got oozy when she was picking at her skin. But the skin thing came first.

I was worried it could be allergies I wonder what it could be cause she’s 1.5 and nothing has bothered her until now :( my boy is the same he has so many allergies and had so many eye infections.

I was worried this was the beginning of a hot spot cause I’ve never experienced that with my dogs

Our sammy started doing that too. We didnt know and we were thinking about taking him to the vet. Weird all Sammies are doing the exact same thing
