We got the puppy (term used loosely for the 10yr old, grey muzzled doggie) a new collar and when we went switch them out, we realized the other one, or her claws, had rubbed a bald spot on her neck where the itchiest part of the old collar had lain. So... we left her neck bare for a number of day & kept the house well lit (stupid black stealth dog) in hopes that the irritation atleast would subside.
Thankfully, today, when we woke up I felt her fussing at her neck (she usually lays pushed up against me in the bed and last night she was at the small of my back). I stopped her from scratching at it and saw a downy cover of light greyish-black fur over the spot. She might not get her rich, thick black coat back over that spot, but its atleast on the mend and Matt and I made sure her new collar is smooth all the way around -- we stood in the store running our fingers over almost every collar in the correct size trying to find one that wouldn't cause a similar problem and debating back and forth over what we could or couldn't feel o_O
I hope dog appreciates the time and effort we take to make sure she's comfortable and healthy lol :-P
