My dog is constantly scratching and chewing on herself due to skin allergies not!
Question:
My dog is constantly scratching and chewing on herself due to skin allergies not fleas?
I have a 10 yo bassett hound with unspecified skin allergies. They seem to be excessively bad this summer. Ske is CONSTANTLY chewing and scratching om herself. I know he must be quite uncomfortable and it's driving me nuts. She does not have any fleas and does not have flea allergy disease. I have given her benadryl up to 25mg twice a day without results. I am receptive to any and all suggestions (hoome remedies to prescriptions) that may help relieve her of her discomfort.

My dog gets this too during the summer, the vet says they are hot spots. At grocery stores and pet stores they sell stuff specificially for hot spots on dogs and it doesn't sting them or anything. You just clean the area (or bathe the dog) and apply it to the area. Your dogs problem seems identical to mine and the solution seems to help him. Good luck!
