why dose my dog have an itchy back?

narr. like i said i have given her a flea bath and she uses flea oinment i look for fleas on her she is clean and flea free, where i live there are no ticks,

oh sorry..i did not see the details.it might be allergies or fungi infection.u should take her to the vet for sure info

It sounds like it may simply have dry skin. My dog had dry skin as well. It makes them scratch as if they had fleas, and many people think thats what it is. However if you’re positive your dog doesn’t have fleas or ticks, then it’s prob dry skin. There are products you can buy to treat dry skin. Shampoos, creams, etc. If you treat it for dry skin, and the problem still occurs, then I would suggest taking it to the vet.

can i use human moisturiser or creams (natural) on my dog?

thankyou, its winter here and we always have a heater on, it drys me out so i guess it would dry my doggy out to. ty very much for you help

You’re very welcome, I am soo glad to help. Some dogs naturally have dry skin just like humans. So, it might not just be because of using the heater in the winter. I wouldn’t recommend using human moisturizer or creams on a dog. They have things specifically for dogs to treat dry skin, or skin irritation. :)

this time of year they are shedding, and that can make their backs itch….if it’s dry skin….then go to Walmart and get some Fish Oil tabs….the Omega 3’s and 6’s in fish oil, make for a very healthy skin and coat….

p

Absolutely not!!

lol this time of year she is growing her thicker coat, and we dont have walmart here, i live in australia and its winter but thanx for the fish oil tip ill give it a shot

dry skin or fleas perhaps??

it depends on what bread of dog you have, Some breds are prone to dry skin, other get these bump like things on the inside of their skin that make itch and smell bad. A vet usually has to go in and pop the bump for it to heal.
