Question about my dog's skin?
Your dog could very well have allergies causeing the itching try changing her diet to something with no weat, corn or soy in it. Also try putting some bitter apple sray on the area to stop her from biteing the area. There is also HOT SPOT medication that helps to.
Reply:It could be tics or go see a vet
Reply:Go to your local pet store and pick up some Oatmeal Shampoo for dogs as well as anti itch spray for dogs as well. Give her a nice warm bath and dry her really well. Once she is dry Spray the area with the Anti Itch Spray.





You will also want to put her on a good dog food. Natures Recipe is the best food. There is no Corn, Beef, wheat or fillers. Very healthy for the dogs.





My Springer has allergies and since I've switched his food it has helped with his itchiness a lot.





You can get that food at Pet Smart or Pet-Co.
Reply:you can go to the pet store, petco, or any place like that and explain to them what is going on and they will be able to help you find soemthing effective and safe.


home remedies or human safe lotions are not always safe .... and if licked by your dog.... it can make them very ill.
Reply:It could be a reaction to the shampoo,or mains you can use calmine lotion until you get it to the vet it will help the itching,it wont hurt your dog just help her to not licking it at first she will catch on that the itching is stoppen.
Reply:aloe vera, stops the itchyness and the redness goes down almost instantly.
Reply:Harley got it all over him, on his tail, under his arms and on his tummy. We tried antibiotics and steroid shots, but finally changed to all vegetable dog food from Vet and his thyroid was low and the Vet put him on thyroid pills.





His skin is back perfect and he has slimmed down and feels better than he has felt in a long time.





Kibbles and Bits is junk food and it really is important that they eat good quality Veterinarian specified dog food. Harley's food cost $36.00 a month plus $9.00 for his treats and $26.00 for his pills that he must take twice a day with a little cheese. Food allergies is quite common in older dogs as their immune system starts to suffer.
Reply:Hi--- I agree with the first person-who wrote to you--yes, its probably allergies. I know you say there are no fleas --but from where you are saying the trouble place is located (above her tail) that is common for FAD--flea allergy dermatitis. Alot dogs are very allergic to the bite of a flea (or I believe its the proteins in the saliva of the flea)--Anyway, your pet does not have to have a infestation of fleas to have this itchy condition--one bite--from one flea-is all it takes.So my advice is, find something to put onto the spot to make it less itchy for her. The vet could recommend something over the phone--The bitter apple is great--just make sure its around the area--to prevent biting--NOT on the spot. If she continues trying to get at the area before it heals--you might want an e- collar--(pet stores have them) --Maybe just put it on her for a few days --just to let the place heal--so it does not get infected-or -she doesnt lick off the meds --Good Luck !!
Reply:anti bacterial shampoo, or bag balm seriously it works i know i use it all the time, if he/she has black looking skin which is a sign of mange use white vinegar I used both methods, so the dog smells like salad it goes away shortly.
Reply:It could likely be due to the diet. Try to feed a food that doesn't have wheat, soy, or corn. These commonly cause allergies in dogs. I feed my dog Solid Gold. You can also give her a bath in a colloidal oatmeal shampoo, to ease the itching.
Reply:My dog has the same problem she lays by the heater and she does not stop she loves the heat but we just can't get her to get her away from it but let's not talk about my dog let's talk about your's anyway first thing's first please do not give he/she a bath loition thing because that can eritate her skin very badly. just go out and buy a product for dogs that is called hydro- cortisone spray it does not sting this is what i put on my dog when she is in that condishion.
