| Scratching a lot... My baby Louie has been scratching at his paws ans behind his ears a lot lately. Could this mean he has fleas or allergies? I haven't seen any fleas, I have checked for them. He is only 11 weeks. Also, can anyone recommend anything for dry skin...he seems to have some "Flakes" on the top of his head. Thanks!

| Do you use flea medicine on Louie? Is there anything new in his diet or surroundings that have changed recently? Sometimes it just could be itchy skin. Does he get bathed a lot? Some of the Coat Handler products are good for skin and shine, I believe. |

| I used an Omega supplement on his food for dry skin and a shampoo called Tropicare or Tropical... I forget and it has oatmeal and tea tree oils. It seemed to help. Maybe he has an ear infection. Just speaking from experience

| Well, he'll be going to the vet on monday for his second set of vaccinations, I will have the vet look at his ears and make sure they are okay. Thanks for the tips!
