Why is My Pet Licking, Scratching, or Biting Itself? And, What Can I Do?
Tracey Hlede, DVM
Our furry companions show us in many ways when they are itchy or uncomfortable, but often it is through rubbing, chewing, or scratching the skin, ears, and paws. We always want to find the root of the problem to find a way to relieve them. However, there are so many variables and possibilities that may complicate providing an easy explanation. This session will discuss the variables that may be involved, over-the-counter remedies, various preventive and management tools, and when a visit to the veterinarian is needed.
