Default We to are having problems

Our female yorkie has had terrible skin problems this year. I use K9 Advantage faithfully every month. We found out the fleas are terrible this year, for one to jump on her can send her into a reaction with her skin, you can see the rash on her skin. The vet has advised to use the flea protector every 28 days and stated we might need to use every 3 weeks. We have never seen a flea on her but the male dog has had 1 dead flea and 2 that were very slow moving. We also bath them weekly and dilute the oatmeal and baking soda shampoo and conditioner more than recommened. Then rinse rinse rinse. The next thing we done was put them on the vet prescrible Royal Cannine skin and stone dog food which they will not eat without putting chicken or some type of canned food in it. With her still scratching terrible the vet prescrible a special shampoo to kill bacteria, it was only $48 for a mid size bottle and she still scratches. We also found out she is expecting so the problem multiplied. Please post any thing that might aid in slowing down the itch factor I would be very grateful.
