Re: Please Help Me!

does he have red,bald patches?? what are you feeding,he may be allergic to fleas,assuming he had them,and it may take a while for skin to settle,bob martin stuff is crap and can cause skin reactions,did you use them close together?? pics of under tail looks like flea dermititas

Could it be a problem with the anal gland?

Re: Please Help Me!

He could be allergic to something. I would be inclined to go to the vets and get them to do some tests.

Frontline should have got rid of the fleas.....however there are more to try but i would pop to the vets anyway.

It might be something in the food, fleas, dust mites, a washing powder etc etc the allergy list is endless!

Re: Please Help Me!

that does look like a allergy,
ok what i did with my dog when he first had symptoms,
unpluged all the plugins in the house(perfume is not good)
checked his beding (soap powder is also verybad as is fabric softner)
i washed the floors with plain water.
i moved all perfumed candles.
and try to think if this is new have you changed anything.
bakers food is on a par with pedegree.not good.
if nothing works you need to go to the vet.
because if its a allergy your dog will be in pain.
from the itching and scratching
sorry noogsy x
