Why could your dog be scratching after a flea treatment?
If it’s right after applying it, there are chances the dog is responding to the dying fleas which may get irritable and crawl around their coat more. Other possibilities are that the fleas are not actually being all killed if you are not also treating the environment. When I used to work for the vet, we used to sell bottles of Ovitrol to kill all life stages of fleas as the topical treatment only kill the adults ones. Here are some more troubleshooting tips: Why is my flea treatment not working.
What causes an extremely constantly itchy nose??
It just happened suddenly and it's REALLY embarrassing scratching my nose all the time, especially at work! I take allergy medicine now and put lotion on and nothing is helping...idk what to do im really embarrassed. What's the cause of this??
My Pit Bull will not stop licking his paws. Both front and back paws are red and missing hair.?
This is usually a sign of allergies. You MUST switch your dog to a totally GRAIN-FREE dog food brand. Great grain-free dog food brands are: EVO, Wellness CORE, Taste Of The Wild, Orijen, Blue Wilderness Salmon, Go Natural Grain Free Endurance, or Instinct. Once you change the food, get an Elizabethian Collar (one of those lamp shade looking thingies that go around the dog's neck after surgery - they're cheap, like $8) and keep that on him, at all times, for a week or two (until his old food/grains are totally out of his system). This should stop the problem. If not, it's time to see the vet.
