lord verminator 70 Posted March 10, 2015 Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 She has terrier in house 8 months old just had 1st heat. Since she's done nothing but itch and scratch no fleas just always scratching, any ideas Quote Link to post Share on other sites
skycat 6,172 Posted March 10, 2015 Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 Food intolerance? Irritant in washing powder/fabric conditioner? Stress? Dust mites? The list of possible causes is a long one. Firstly, what is the dog being fed on? An inappropriate diet is very often the cause of scratching. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lord verminator 70 Posted March 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 Dogs fed on beef trimmings and bones. Dog runs round farm allday but other dogs seem fine. She did have an ear infection but treated with drops and seems fine now Quote Link to post Share on other sites

pbrookes 450 Posted March 10, 2015 Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 Could be a yeast infection especially as you said she had bother with her ears Quote Link to post Share on other sites
skycat 6,172 Posted March 10, 2015 Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 Could be mange: I've had one susceptible dog get it after contact with a mangy fox, while the others involved never got it. Some dogs are more likely to get it than others. They can even get it from brushing up against cover/bales etc that a mangy fox has pushed past. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MoChara 1,600 Posted March 13, 2015 Report Share Posted March 13, 2015 I agree with skycat could be mange mites. Maybe worth getting a quick skin scrape done just to make sure it's not mange. Some dogs can have mange with barely no symptoms. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
