persephone Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 ..and a vet hasn't seen her yet? it might be time to get someone to check her over. There are heaps of things which can cause scratching ...most likely allergies... but to what? that's the tricky bit! Dogs can be allergic to grass/pollen/fleas/meat proteins/food colourings/shampoos.... all sorts of things !! re: fleas.. it only takes one bite to set off an allergic reaction ..you may not ever see a flea . Good luck at teh vets ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
becks Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 Could be mites or anything - best to go see a vet to at least rule certain things out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mason_Gibbs Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 I would see a dermatologist most vets have no clues about allergies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
