Help. My dog is scratching but doesn’t have fleas!

Tuesday, April 13th, 2010

Hi, I just read your post on fleas and I wanted to tell you my story and hope you might offer some help.

I have a 10 y/old Chihuahua that’s constantly scratching. I’ve tried giving her a bath every 2 – 3 weeks but that hasn’t helped. She doesn’t have fleas and I haven’t seen anything else on her. Sometimes she scratches till she is almost bleeding.

Could this simply be dry skin?

What else can I do to help her stop scratching?

Please help. She’s miserable.

Thank you,

Diana

We bought a miniature Jack Russell on Saturday and after taking her to the vet, we found out that she has mange.

What can we do to stop her itching and biting herself?

Please Help.
