Unable to groom herself properly

Hey all!

Due to Sookies dental problems, she is unable to groom the bottom of her back, its beginning to get flaky skin there. Vet has confirmed its not mites etc.

Does anyone have the same problem? If so, how do you get rid of mud/dead skin etc off? Im going to attempt to brush her tonight but it looks like 'cradle cap'....what babies get!
 
:wave:

Vet doesnt reckon it is as its only a small patch right in the middle of her back. Ill keep an eye on it though, they did say if I was worried that they would take a skin scrape when she goes in for her operation on her teeth. So many issues with poor Sookie just now, a bit down about it all at the moment. :cry:
 
Aw, bless her. I just read your other thread. I so hope the operation helps change her life for the better.

Summer used to get dermatitis right there when the weather was hot. She was run down, which caused the mild infection, which was why I asked. If Sookie could cope with it, maybe cooled boiled water bathing on the area?
