Thanks for your help? Like the oatmeal shampoo will definitely try that and Quit Itch--is that available from the vet or a pet shop? I don't really know if he is prone to fleas- but when he was a baby puppy he did this. The frontline and malaseb stopped it. the vets gave him cortisone (as a baby) and we did the elimination diet but it didn't make a difference. Don't have Wandering Jew but what about an olive tree and this flower called Society Garlic- not actually garlic (but smells like it)?
