My dog has ellergies really bad, what can I do???

She has a few fleas on her, but she digs %26amp;chews all the time; she has lost all her hair on her back by her tail; And the rest of her skin looks irritated ????

You need to take your dog to the vet. She's going to need a cortizone shot (steriod) to stop the irrattaon and discomfort. She will also need a flea guard, such as Frontline or another similar brand. If you don't take care of this soon, a bad skin infection could start. I strongly urge you to go.

You need to put Frontline or Advantage on her and do it year-round. Also if she's really scratched herself up her skin may be infected. You should have her seen by a vet.

Take her to the vet and get frontline for the fleas.

If she has fleas she could be having a flea allergy reaction. Some animals can actually die from this allergy. So having fleas may be very dangerous for her. You need to take her to the vet and get her a flea bath, and medication to prevent further infestation. ( frontline, capstar etc.)



Then after she is healed from the fleas, have her checked out again to see what she is allergic to. It could be food, or environment.

She may need a shot of steroids to get the allergies to go away. She needs to go to the vet.



She does need to have the Advantage on her all year long. It goes on one time a month, and protects against ticks and fleas. You also should use a gentle shampoo on the dog. It doesn't need to be shampooed that much, if you brush it.

Take her to the Vet ASAP(as soon as possible)!



Good Luck!

You can give your dog benadryl for allergies and itching. You can also get a special conditioner for the itching. I had to get some for my dog. She has allergy problems off and on in the summer.

vets are not cheep but I would think about taking the dog there because they can test for allergies

My dog has had the same problem in the past especially irritation by the base of the tail. I would advise going to the vet as drastic action may be required, flea and mite irritation is probably the source, a decent spot on treatment will work for the fleas. Shave the base of the tail and wash with a mild solution of bacterial wash twice a day and apply Sudocrem to soothe the area, put a cone on her if she wants to bite her back. Treat other areas similarly but the main problem may well be the back and cross infection from biting.



Anti-histamines may help but keeping the skin problems under control should cure the problem.



It has taken me about two years to get my collie X's skin problem under control and he now has a beautiful full coat again, a few vet visits and a lot of hard work and attention and remembering to keep his flea treatment up to date.



Good luck

Sounds like she's having a reaction to fleas and or her food.



Don't rush to the vet just yet...most likely you'll be back again. Try this first before going...may save you lot's of money in the long run.



* She needs to be on a monthly flea medicine



* Bath her with medicated shampoo (antiseptic cleansing)...you ask your vet for this. DON'T MAKE AN APT. FOR THIS, JUST ASK THE PERSON AT THE FRONT DESK THAT YOU NEED THIS FOR YOUR DOG.



* Change her diet to a high quality food



COST: * Shampoo, (close to $15-20..but it lasts and well worth it)



* Flea, (three month supply, close to %26amp; $45-50)



* High Quality Food (double then the cheap fillers)



With these three simple changes, you will help your pet be happier and healthier....try and see, you'll see a difference FAST.



Now mind you, all these will cost some. But the vet will have you come in over and over, year after year (I've been there, none that with my cat). I've changed her diet alone and no more hair lose, red area, by tail.



Most vet's will not tell you at first to make these changes, some won't share at all...if they did, they will lose out on money.

The place that you are describing is the place one should look at if you suspect that your dog has fleas. On top of the tail where it joins the spine as it is the only place that the dog cannot get to. Another place to look is in 'Percy's Pocket' a colloquial name for the little flap on the back edge of the ear.



If you suspect that your dog has allergies then it should be treated by the Vet who will take skin scrapings to ascertain what the dog is allergic to.

Some dogs are allergic to flea bites and other insect bites. Try a flea collar. If that doesn't work dogs can be tested for allergies the same as people. But its quite common for dogs to be allergic to flea bites. Various treaments area available including soaps etc.

My Westie had an allergy and it was trial and error he didn't have fleas but I used to bath him in malaseb once a week and the vet put him in id food from hills to clear out his system and after much toing and froing I am convinced he had an allergy to certain cereal based foods, since I have had him on naturediet I have never looked back! he has the odd moment of scratching but no where near to the extent to what it was.....speak to the vet about an allergy test and about maybe looking at your dog's diet! good luck!



My dog has ellergies really bad, what can I do???

I cant believe this is true???.... why would you let your dog get that bad???..... i s close to cruelty!!!!



needs to go to the vet asap to get a flea treatment and something to make its skin better should really find out how to care for a dog before you get one!



My dog has ellergies really bad, what can I do???

She probably has mange. Take her to the vet and they will sell you fantastic drops like Stronghold that will kill fleas / mites etc all in one go.



Its worth it because the poor dog won't stop the chewing until the parasites are all dead.



My dog has ellergies really bad, what can I do???

go to the vet.

If you haven't consulted a vet about your poor dog, then you are not a fit owner. Poor animal must be in agony.
