Intense itch 3 year old Yorkie boy - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Cat Hunter · 01-09-2013, 07:06 PM

My little boy has started biting his back leg and close to his rump. I have checked and there are no fleas and the skin looks clear and normal, with no dry flaking. I can't see any reason for the itch he seems to have. Can anyone suggest some lotion or something to give him some relief?
Thank you

His anal glands may be full. I would take him to your vet for an exam.

I would have the glands checked, if the vet says allergies we have that problem with Laddy and only thing that has helped is GNC Conditoner. He hardly ever chews or scratches since we started using it 2 months ago. We bath him once a week and leave it on 5 minutes then rinse well.

Thank you for your replies!
I know it's not his anal glands, I empty them myself and they are fine. I know it's not fleas. He did have an allergic reaction to something (we are not sure what) a few months ago and the vet gave me allergy medication for him.
