• cyclefiend2000 Posted : 5/22/2006 12:54:12 PM have you had her checked for demodex mites? our puppy went through that. it could possibly be an allergy to something in her surroundings or food or .... get your vet to check her out. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• garrettandpaul Posted : 5/22/2006 5:51:01 PM Sorry that your pup is itchy, I agree with all that Cyclefiend2000 said an also would like to ad that it could be related to boredom aswell. I would definately take her to the vets an have them rule any medical issues out first.

• calliecritturs Posted : 5/22/2006 6:49:38 PM If it is demodex it will start on the face ... THEN it may go to the neck and feet but it is highly unusual for it to progress that far without you knowing about it before.  Demodex starts like a flakey patch but progresses to a wet, red oozy spot.    But Demodex isn't super itchy -- it DOES itch, depending on the dog.  But I would be astonished if these were the first two patches of demodex.   Is the itching all over or JUST in one spot?   Out door dog or inside?   Breed(s)?   How old?    Spayed/neutered yet?   All those questions can help determine what's going on.    One more question -- are YOU scratching/itching anywhere?  A small red, sore rash? (wrist, ankel, sometimes where the dog may sit next to you?) 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.
