| Stomper always itchs. The vet can't figure it out. I'm thinking it is just allergies. I don't think it is the food either. I've changed food and he still itchs. He is now on medication.

| Has your dog been to the grromers or in contact with anyone elses dog, my mamas picked up scabies and had the same problems your dog has, and finally I too her to the vet to see if she had allergies and he saw little red spots by her ears so he did a skin scrapping and found out it was the scabies. After treatment she is back to normal and I never will take her to that place again, even though they can contract it from anywhere, but that was the only place I had taken her in that time frame, so if you find out its not the food or allergies or even dry skin you should ask about scabies. Anyones pet can get it and its so easy for them to pick it up. Good luck!

| Chloe used to itch all of the time. I found a tea tree oil shampoo that works great and she hardly ever itches. Now I need a conditioner that will make her coat shine!!! Joy, Nikki and Chloe |

| This is so good to know. We actually had to take Capone to the vet yesterday because he was itching his eye so much he infected it. Now he has to wear one of those attractive lamp shades around his head and have eye drops for 7 days. My poor little man

| Thanks for the insight. Jojo where do you get the Derma Caps from? can you buy it over the counter? I gave miko a little benadryl yesteday, for the first time, he hated it, but I kinda forced it down his throat. How often do you guys that give benadryl for itching give your doggies it and for how long??

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | I read all the responses and they're great - to add to this - I would make SURE it's not skin mites....fleas or other pests... then I remember a year ago when Chanel was scratching alot from playing in the hose outside - I got her some SKIN CONDITIONER called Veternarians BEST Moisture Mist SKIN Conditioner - sold at PETCO....I sprayed some on her and she stopped scratching the next day and hasn't had an itchy since. |

| OK, I went home and did the following: Changed Pita's food to Natural Balance Gave her 1/2 a Brewer's Yeast tablet Gave her a bath with Aveeno Oatmeal shampoo (i couldn't get to Petsmart) Gave her 1 cc of Benadry She scratched allllll night!!GRRRRR I am thinking partly that she is allergic to the stuff I use to clean my floors with. I have all tile and I used orange pinesol to wash the floors with on Sunday. Pita comes to my office with me and when we are here she sleeps soundly in her bed and doesn't scratch near as much as at home. Soooo... tonight I will continue with the other stuff I am doing and I will wash the floor with vinegar and water to strip the floor. I will also get some Dermcaps. I will give it to the end of the week to improve but then we are going to the vet to check for scabies or whatever. When I get to Petsmart I will also get some of the skin conditioner, although I don't see any sign of dry skin...but I will try anything and everything at this point! Thanks for all of the advise! I will let you know the results! |
