Just recently my baby, a 3 year old Yorkie, named Carmen started scratching and biting at herself all the time. I really noticed it right after we took her to the Vet to get fixed. I try to watch her all the time and not let her do that, but it's almost impossible to keep her from doing it. I've looked all over her for fleas and I haven't found a single one on her or anywhere else in our house. She is scratching and bite until her skin is red and irritated. Anyone have any suggestions on why she is doing this? And how I can help her feel better? We do not use Frontline or any medications like that. We use an herbal flea and tick prevention. We give her a bath once or twice a week and we use Dove Shampoo and Conditioner and we use a little Pantene Pro-V Conditioner. We have used this herbal flea spray and the same Shampoo and Conditioner the whole time we have had her and this hasn't been a problem until now. If anyone can help us that would be wonderful! I am kinda at a loss.
