There are so many things that can cause excessive scratching. Vaccinations can effect the immune system and cause skin problems. One of the 'side effects' of the flea treatment (Advantage) is excessive scratching. I know this for a fact because I have one Yorkie that will not be scratching much from the fleas but as soon as I put the Advantage on him and the fleas are gone, he goes crazy for several days with excessive scratching. I would recommend getting you baby on a good quality food (corn free) and add some omega-3 fatty acids to his diet. |
