My KiKi is having really bad skin problems...I know for sure she doesn't have any fleas or ticks. ..but for some reason, she just keep on scratching and it's to a point that her skin is really red, and sometimes with tiny blood spot too... I don't bath her that much, I only do it about once every 2 weeks ...unless she gets really dirty and smelly...I also only use oatmeal shampoo and I also put condition on her coat too...but she just keep on scratching and scratching ...all day..So I have to put clothes on her to keep her from 'hurting" herself....
anything else I can do to stop it?

Lipiderm or Linatone are both very good. They help prevent scratching, dull coats & flaky skin. It also seems to improve their hair growth. I've used it on my Yorkies and it works. You can get it at PetSmart or Petco.
