I have a Yorkie and she is constantly licking and scratching herself until she is raw and bleeds. Also so has lost a lot of hair from doing so. We have given her baths with allergy shampoo and sprayed her with anti-itch spray and nothing seems to work. What could it be? And does anyone know any ideas to fix it?

My 2 year old dog is Australian Shepherd mix. about 3-4 weeks ago, she ran off for about 20 minutes, running around in the creek and went to our neighbors house (need i say, my neighbors do not take care of their dogs, one of them looks sick).
after about 3 days i noticed that the bottoms of all her paws were red (inflamed, rash like).
Now on her back paws, she’s got a couple bald spots on her toes, she’s got a rash of some sort in both her ears, she itches like crazy, and it seems like she’s loosing fur on her belly (because i can see her skin now).
I thought at first it was just a heat rash (she is prone to getting those) but it’s not getting better. Her paws are getting worse and she’s scratching more.
I AM taking her to the vet, don’t worry.
I am just wondering what it could be.
From what I have researched, it could either be flea dermatitis, food allergies, hay fever, or airborne allergies.
Could it be the mange or is she too old for that? I’ve always been told that younger dogs (under a year) are more prone for that.
What do you think it is and why?
Thank you
**also, she rubs her front paws up against her snout, like she’s trying to scratch them
she seems to be itching more than usual and the scabs can be picked off withouth showing an open sore nor does it bother her when we do this…she acts like she is not feeling well but will still play and jump around…she is missing a small spot of hair on her head where a scab was and maintains a good appetite…not sure what is going on here if it is a version of mange, allergies, fleas, or something else…can anyone help me out? should i be taking her to the vet? thanks
My dog has these red spots all over his pee-pee area. (I don’t know how else to say it.) Here’s a pic:http://s718.photobucket.com/albums/ww188…
And when I was brushing him, I found this:http://s718.photobucket.com/albums/ww188…
If you look closely, you will see that there is an area and it was really wet with this white stuff. My dog itches there and I’m afraid he will really infect it or hurt himslef. He is a 4-year old German Shepherd. Is this allergies, fleas, please tell me!
