Thank you for submitting your question regarding Khloe Jayne. If she is truly unconscious, you need to seek emergency veterinary care immediately. As far as your other concerns, she could be licking due to the allergies you mentioned. Other considerations are full anal glands that need to be expressed or even a urinary tract infection. She will likely need to see her veterinarian to determine appropriate treatment for her. In the meantime, you can bathe her with a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner such as an oatmeal or fatty acid based formula. This can help to soothe the skin. I hope this information helps!
