I have a shiba and also has an itchy skin. He is biting his front legs constantly and scratching his face. He is scared outside when the weather is too humid. I changed his food because vet said Apollo had allergies to chicken.
I am offering only food made of fish but lately he is not eating. He wants to eat but plays with the kibble and avoids eating. Could be that he is bored with the same food?
My concern is his itching.Apollo is one year old, I do not want give him asteroids. Last summer I gave 2 times a dip with lime sulfur and he improved. Do you think he has mites?
Thanks,
Serios

Lucky is nearly 10 years old, and is suffering from some sort of wild allergy. That is tested him for parasites and he’s come up clean. They are convinced that it is a food allergy. He is psychotically licking constantly the floor, his bed, himself, his feet, but most of all and the most disturbing is his anus. He has no hair left around his anus. We have changed his food again. For many years we were using Taste of the Wild Buffalo and venison mix because that is what did not make him vomit or itch. Suddenly he is disingenuously driving us all insane with the constant licking. We have changed over to a holistic food which is grain-free. He has been placed on apoquel to try to stay the scratching and licking. Any suggestions?

ABADY granular food. Hard to find in stores but you can order online.

Wash you dog down with apple cider vinegar dilution. and use it topically. Change your dogs diet to raw, take out all processed foods, give your dog antihistamines, use otodex for ear infections. Also you can buy canker powder from amazon, a tiny bit rubbed into the ear flaps and on the skin goes a long way. The apple cider vinegar stops all itching, i am using it currently on one of my foster dogs.

Try swapping her to a raw diet, bathe her regularly in colloidal oatmeal shampoo (once or twice a week), put coconut oil in her food and rub on her skin as well. See if the itching dies down, also give antihistamines like Piriton to help the itching. There are many good articles on the internet about safe antihistamines and dosage for dogs.

She constantly scratches under her belly and its driving her mad, the vets wants to do an allergy test which I’m ok with but hope they find something as the poor girl is getting stressed, does anyone have any ideas?

I have two huskies, Tsubaki. and Tsukira, Tsubaki just turned four and is experiencing extreme itching which started with an ear infection but is now completely out of control…..I took her to the vet as soon as I saw the ear infection but I live in a small town and am a single mom with extremely limited income, we resolved the ear but afterwards came the itching, licking, biting and I took her back to the vet and she said after scraping, that it was a fungus. This costs me over 450. and my baby is worse than ever. I have her in a cone collar but she is determined to continue biting and chewing. It is all over now…tail. back, three paws, stomach, I cry all the time, please help us!
