I am a 7 year old terri-poo and my skin is atrocious. They thought I may have mange, or thyroid problems, but it turns out I have allergies. Dr. Swogger tested me to see what I am allergic to and we will have the results soon. If your pet has hair loss around the eyes, chest, groin, feet, and is itchy, it may be allergies. Ask your veterinarian what you can do. \| Doc's Journal \| \| Return Home \| What's New \| Events \| Services \| Links \| FAQ \| Contacts \| INFO* \| TOUR \| Our Furry Friends \|
