| Itchy mess. My 9 month old yorkie is itching like crazy. She does not have fleas. Several baths turned up not one flea. the other dog in the house is not itching or showing signs of fleas. She is experiencing her first heat, not sure if that matters. We live in a hot dry climate (California) and the air conditioning is on a lot. Have been bathing her with a natural oatmeal extra soothing shampoo. She is on a natural dog food, Blue Buffalo small breeed puppy. This behavior started about 2 weeks ago and is getting worse. She chews on her flanks all night long and seems miserable with it. Any suggestions? |

| Maybe she has allergies? If she's been on the same food for a while & only started the itchies a few weeks ago, maybe it's something environmental. If she's scrtaching to the point that it interferes with her daily activities and/or if she breaks her skin, I would see a vet. Maybe he can prescribe something for her.

| Marcie has been doing the same thing. This time of year she bites her feet and rolls on her back. The vet can give you advice or prescriptions. |
