We use Advantage Flea Control, and we have done treatment inside the house, there are no fleas, but here is is November, and my poor dog is still itching and scratching and chewing himself silly. Every so often I can feel bumps on his skin under his coat, but not there are no scabs. He has always been an itchy dog, but it has always been seasonal. I know to use Oatmeal Shampoo, and to give him raw eggs/veggie oil in his food, but it doesn’t seem to be working. Aside from taking him to get allergy testing ($$$) anything else you’d recommend? Thanks

My beautiful GSD has been itching and scratching herself raw on her belly and hind legs. She has lost a lot of fur and the skin underneath is red. We have seen the vet but he was no help, he said it was an infection and the heat has made it worse. We give her Revolution for flea control, she’s had 2 courses of antibiotics, steroid injections, and medicated dog shampoo baths, but nothing has really helped. She may be allergic to something, and I want to change her diet, but don’t know what is best to feed her. I don’t have the time to home cook meals for her. We are in Australia. Any ideas???

Orange Specs In My Dog’s Fur?

So I was petting my dog Toby today, and I noticed that he had little orange specs in his fur. They look like dried skin or something, but it’s weird. It almost looks like ear wax; it’s the exact same color. He has many skin allergies but this is a new one. And he doesn’t have any fleas so it’s not like they’re eggs or anything. What could it be?

Why Is My Dog Constantly Licking Himself?

Just 2 days ago I noticed my Pomeranian Shih-Tzu mix who is 5 years old has been heavily licking his front right arm, not his paw where the thumbs are, where you say…the dog’s armpit is?
Every chance he gets he licks it until it’s all wet & the skin is bright pink.
We took him to the vet a month ago, nothing’s wrong.
Now all of a sudden he has this habit of licking himself, now today I’ve noticed that he’s licking his thighs too, yes til it’s wet & bright pink.
I don’t see any spots, he goes out for his 30 min walk every day 4 times a day, he doesn’t play with other dogs, never been abused, stressed, saddened, sickened nothing.
My brother sprayed some perfume on the dog’s armpit to prevent licking, but still he licks it anyways.
So I slipped his arm into a sock so he wont be able to lick it, & now he’s growling at the sock.
He doesn’t have any allergies that I know of, could it be fleas maybe?
He’s never had them before, doesn’t interact with other dogs, never been into the woods, parks nothing.
We’ve never changed his food, he’s been eating Cesar’s since he was 2, only 2 Lbs overweight.
What’s wrong with my baby? D=
