if you can rule out fleas - and your dog is still scratching badly - I would get them vet tested for allergies and Mites. My friends yorkie was miserable with mites for months before the vets figured it out. |
I have a fenced in area outside where they play outside in the grass and patio when its nice out. I found a flea today on Brodie (not the itching Yorkie) but if one has them.....they all have them! Everyone got Frontline today. But of course, Rogan is still itching. I'm sure it'll take a little bit for the fleas to die.
