Teddy biting at his back by the tail can be from dry skin depending on the shampoo that was used, how often he was given baths, if all shampoo was not rinsed off maybe even allergies. If he's constantly biting at himself and you see no fleas could be time for a vet visit.

There's no sores, he's bathed weekly until winter then every other week, and we have an ok oatmeal shampoo...if he keeps it up I'll have to take him next paycheck!
