cowanbree Posted April 22, 2011 Author Share Posted April 22, 2011 If they are only scratching at night it could just be mozzie or midgies biting them? I have considered that but the last mth has been too cold for them and the dogs are still itching Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff'n'Toller Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 (edited) .. and go see a dermatologist .\ Would love to but we don't have any. I have been to see a general vet with an interest in skin conditions and that was a 6hour round trip for no results. You can probably do distance consults. The dermatologist can get a full history from you, and then speak to your Vet in regards to what testing they want done, then remotely prescribe treatments or meds. There's no reason with email & skype these days that that can't happen. Edited April 26, 2011 by Staff'n'Toller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over and above what he was prior to that? Could the extra itchiness be because the Revolution is working and it is agitating the mites causing more itchies? Does that make sense?

That was my orginal theory but now that I am thinking they don't have mites I am wondering if the chemical overload is just aggravating their skin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
