sandymere 8,260 Posted December 14, 2020 Report Share Posted December 14, 2020 Could be a bit of an allergy, topical rather than dietary. Most likely an odd flea or a new cleaning product. Doubt it's anything to do with yeast. 5 Quote Link to post

They could also be infested with mites and be the starting point of transmission. Edited December 14, 2020 by Rakete 1 Quote Link to post

Turned out it was something to do with the flea bites and an anal gland reaction. I had to empty them on a regular basis and she was right as rain Quote Link to post
