We have in-ground pool and this is his first year swimming in it, all day long. Flea’s really bother him. I found flea after observing him scratching. He has been Advantix’ed, then Frontline, and flea coller, flea spray and flea bath. Advantix’ed after 3 weeks on Frontline. Dry bloddy scabs. Now what. He is over 100 pounds. Flea meds always worked before. Is pool water cause? Frontline and Advatix waterproof. If flea allergy or flea dermatitus what treatment. Should I take him to vet? He is driving me crazy and himself. too. Hides so I won’t see him scratching. So smart… oh yes 2 cats 2 other dogs all flea treated no adverse effects!

the irritation causes his skin to be very red and is now developing some scabbing. he has been to the vet numerous times.. checked for mites, fleas. has been on steroids and the irritation gets a little better, but as soon as he finishes the cycle the irritation gets worse again. he has lost the hair on his neck bc he scratches it so much. could it be his diet? or allergies? please help!

I have a 14 week-old miniature dachshund puppy and about a week ago I noticed a small (about 2mm) bump on the top of her head that almost resembled a wart. Since then, a few have appeared down her neck and onto her back, as well as one near her anus. She has been scratching moderately since I’ve brought her home and has had a bath with oatmeal and aloe vera shampoo in attempt to alleviate her itching, but to no avail.
The bumps are not red or discolored and there are no signs of hair loss. Also, I did see a flea on her the other day and will get Revolution for flea control when we visit the vet.
Could this be a sign of an allergy to flea bites? Food allergies? I have her on by nature puppy formula right now which has no wheat, corn or soy, but have been considering switching to something that doesn’t contain chicken or beef.
She has an appointment to see our vet on Tuesday, I was just wondering if anyone has experienced similar skin problems with your dogs.

i adopted a female pit bull like two months ago. she had allergies to fleas so the vet put her on medication and flea control and special shampoo and stuff. I know she doesnt have fleas but still she gets bumps on her neck and sometimes her back. i thought i was her collar so i changed it but still she gets them. i will take her to the vet but until then does anyone know what it might be?? thanks.
