sounds like flea allergy as i have an allergy dog -- one flea bite can cause up to 3 weeks of itching -- have you checked him for fleas? Also i use raw coconut oil for any hot spots and works great as better than neosporine and safe to lick. Antihistamines do not usually work in dogs so go to vet and ask for temarilp - it is safer than prednisone - it has prednisolone in it and tavist an antihistamine and give 1/2 tab every other day and hopefully it will calm system down and then wean back off it. Hopefully not allergies as allergies are a nightmare as have been dealing with it for 5 years. Does your dog itch anywhere but back end? I would give a bath in hypoallergenic shampoo to make sure no fleas - a good one is earthbath or blue hypoallergenic from petco or dr bronners mild unscented baby shampoo as it has all organic oils such as coconut so that is what i use mostly as coconut is a natural antifungal and antibacterial and that is what is in neosporine is coconut oil |
