He gives them steroid shot and they get better for a little bit then back to inflammed skin and sores. One loses hair, has some balding areas. I wonder if I should get a second opinion? They do not appear ill, they play and eat. The scratching drives me crazy. They are able to sleep. I have given them flea baths also. Any suggestions would be very helpful. Thank you
