Stewie_the_Frenchie Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Hi all! Omar has been scratching like crazy mornings and evenings for the last few days. I can't find any fleas on him (I have been using topical flea treatment). A while ago I changed his dry food over from Black Hawk to Eukanubah as this is what I have always used with my dogs (but that was a month ago). He has only had two baths with baby shampoo since I got him (he's 4 months old), and the last one was last weekend....maybe this is it? Any suggestions/remedies would be greatly appreciated (he is a French Bulldog BTW). :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redangel Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 be very interested to see how the responses go. I have a 6mth toy poodle, scratch scratch scratch. No fleas, no positive for ringworm/fungal. Currently on allergy tabs & malaseb...has decreased alot. Coat is soft, but skin is dry flaky in spots like dandruff. Have been adding oil to meals for a week. I was told sardines in oil was good??? Have you had pup checked for anything skin wise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stewie_the_Frenchie Posted December 30, 2012 Author Share Posted December 30, 2012 PS. I did read the pinned topic on fleas - I've washed his bedding, vacuumed and treated him a couple of times (in the last month, due to baths and getting wet).

Stewie_the_Frenchie Posted December 30, 2012 Author Share Posted December 30, 2012 Hi redangel! I'm sorry to hear you're going through a similar thing, it's quite baffling! Omar has sardines and tuna in his diet anyway (it is supposed to be good for their skin/coats). Hmmm, I can't see any dry spots and there aren't any rashes to speak of... The mystery continues!

tdierikx Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 My Lab scratches like a demon when she's doing her annual shed... even if brushed and bathed, she scratches until the drop of coat settles... T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skruffy n Flea Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 i've lately been using on both my itchy [for no obvious reason] dogs organic coconut oil and they are now less itchy! and this only after 2 weeks of intermittent topical application and ad hoc [settling into routine] dosing in their evening meals. two nights ago, bella for the first time since at least mid-2010, got into bed and straight away [read: immediately] settled --- prior to that she would lick herself 'til i was silly with angst. the same i will say for byron, who has, up until recently, been the most beleaguered with 'the itchies'. benefits above and beyond: they smell absolutely wonderful :) for all my efforts and research over the past several years, using all manner of [natural] products, speaking with their vets, undergoing clinical tests and altering diets... all is going well with coconut oil --- and woolies has it, at normal price, for about $2 per 100ml [that's organic, extra virgin, nothing else added] so right here right now, that's priceless!
