| Excessive scratching, pulling hair... please help. Hi, I'm new to YT . Can anyone help me with my baby Rocky? He's been scratching allover his body and pulling his hair. I found 1 flea about 2 weeks ago, so I put him on treatment for fleas. I've checked him everyday and can't find any flea, but he still scratches and his skin turns pink sometimes. I have no clue of what is going on.. Please help! |

| I know how fustrating this can be. It is probably allergies. My Roxy has bad allergies. Her eyes are constantly tearing and gouping up. And she itches and scratches her whole body. As a result she keeps getting staph infections. Right now she is mainly scratching her armpits, neck, behind her ears and chin. I have tried all sorts of stuff. Right now, I bath her with Coat Handler Shampoo and Conditioner. It is for sensitive skin issues. Just make sure that you always thoroughly rinse all evidence of shampoo out, as the residue can also cause itching. They also make a light cream called Skin Works and I am constantly applying that to her problem areas as well. Also, constantly vacuuming and dusting should help too. What food do you feed? Do you add any supplements? |

| Flea treatment You have to be very careful as to the type of flea med you use, as some can cause a severe allergic reaction. |
