Chronic Itching - Page 6

I know. Give him or her a bath with dawn. The dish soap yes. Use dawn it will help get what ever it is off. I think so at least.. it helped our puppy.

rangersarge, if the fellow's pup has a foreign substance on it, like oil or tar, then the Dawn dish liquid would do the trick, but in this case, chances are that's not the issue...and dish liquid will strip the natural oils from the coat and skin [that's why it's part of the mixture that's most effective in getting rid of the stench when a dog gets skunked--it cuts the oil in the spray so it can be rinsed away].

Is this dog living inside or a kennel?
If in a kennel, patio or yard, when do you clean it, what disinfectant do you use?
How often to you brush this dog, do you use a shedding rake?
How often is the dog bathed and what shampoo are you using?

Ace et al, .have the dog skin tested, it is the ONLY way to know what is going on. Otherwise you will spend tons more money and the rest of the dog's life feeding it different food, supplements,  using different shampoos. If this if an allergic dog, none of those things will ever help long term unless you get  very, very lucky and stumble on the allergen by accident and are able to elimnate it from the dog's environment - that rarely happens.. GSD's are very prone to allergies, 2 of my 4 GSD's had allergies and needed to be treated by a veterinary dermatologist, The average GP vet doesn't do a good job with allergies. They only treat them symptomatically with steroids and fatty acids.  Without skin testing one will never identify the culprits. It's no different than trying to determine if your dog has HD by watching him walk or run or how he sits. The veterinary dermatologist knows which common allergens to test for based on where one lives, the time of year, and the dog's environment.  Most of the time it's pollens and molds, common in all environments so they cannot be avoided.

Vet science in india is very backward. Humans only dont have proper facilities for gud treatment. How can we expect animals to get something better
