Question
my almost 2yr old Chi is frequently getting sores over his body after his baths, iv been using the same shampoo since i got him. I'm wondering if hes getting stressed during his bath and maybe they're due to stress? but there's never alot of them, just 2 or 3 randomly over his body. he has been itching alot in the past 3 days too, i don't know what to do, do you have any advice, so should i just take him to the vets with out trying anything new?


thank you,

Answer
You should take him to the vet ASAP just to make sure nothing is seriously wrong with him. In the meantime, I reccomend itch shampoo. There is this shampoo that I use on my dogs, and it comes in a clear, cylinder-shaped bottle with a black lid, and the shampoo inside is a soft green color.

Hope I helped,
