You should always consult your vet before following any suggestions for medication or treatment you have read about.

Okay so my boyfriend got her a xs/s dog bandana from pets at home, put it on her not tight obviously and it worked perfectly! I realised how much of the Emeprid she spits out, only that one, the other two she doesn't mind, but yea bandana got it all and she didn't obsessively groom afterwards and was no more upset than usual [emoji38] so Idk if it'll solve it by any means.. But she stayed completely dry under her chin, which has to be better for the skin. Still want to see the vet and going to keep a close eye on it, but I'm hoping it was Emeprid dribble over a long time [emoji849][emoji38]

I really hope that you have found the cause and a solution !! One for me to store away as I had not considered that dribbling medicine could cause such a severe reaction. Not sure I could get any of my 6 to co-operate with wearing a bib though :lol:

If you do, have your camera to hand, I want photos!
Hoping Clementine's new chin mattress cover is doing the trick for her, bless her. Feel better vibes on the way with all due speed! xxxx
Thanks everyone
I think it was the obsessive grooming of the area because she'd got it damp personally, last night I watched her for half a hour after and she didn't bother grooming once, whereas before she'd hop off and then groom for ages.
You know I thought it wouldn't go well, but she just sat there [emoji38] didn't seem bothered at all, was only on her for a few minutes though, took her treat afterwards still wearing it, then I was sure the dribbling was done and removed it, definitely don't think a lot of buns would tolerate that though, not that she's particularly easy.. She's a weird one, she's not a hands on bun but after everything that happened with her knees she just seems to accept it most of the time and knows she'll get a treat after [emoji38] just like I don't think she's a licky bun really but we are closer because of all the care she's had I think... Idk, if none of it had happened I think she'd be a stand off ish leave me alone type bun, but she's had to tolerate me [emoji51]

Poor thing [emoji38]
It is working to keep it off her though and the obsessive grooming seems to have stopped.. And I looked at the skin and it looks less angry so I'm hoping it's helping.. We'll see I guess [emoji38]

aaaawwwwpleased to hear her skin isn't so angry which might be more than you can say for Clem when she realises you've shared this photo online :lol:
