I feel so bad for my mom. Her dog (8 y/o Golden Retriever) has this thing: he licks the fur on his back until it results in bare patches. Right now he has a few 1x2-inch spots there with no hair.
She puts an Elizabethan collar on him when she's not home. But is there any other solution or advice to this? She tried Bitter Apple and it did nothing.
Her vet prescribed Pramoxin (sp?) shampoo and spray along with Animax ointment. She is running out on these and wonders if she should go back to the vet and basically not get anywhere, or just refill the prescriptions and treat it as a chronic thing? I do not know what to tell her but thought that some of our resident vet-people or dog owners could help.
