Poor River-nivs is a very itchy baby She's still in her winter woollies, so it may just be that she's moulting and trying to rub out her thick coat, but I've noticed a lot of bugs around the yard over the weekend, so I'm not ruling out the possibility of sweet itch. I've never had to treat sweet itch before, so I don't know whether I should just give her more grooming time (at the moment, I go over her with a shedding blade and curry comb every other day unless it's raining), or if I should get her in a fly sheet? Mostly she's scratching the underside of her neck and her dock, but she's also been having a good scratch at her sides with her teeth.
What are the other symptoms of sweet itch that I should be watching out for?
