Fleas or dry skin?

The new pup won't quit biting & scratching herself but her paperwork says she got a flea treatment last week. How do I know what she's scratching at? Like before I start seeing fleas on myself & my kid.

Re: Fleas or dry skin?

  • You can usually find fleas. Did this just start? What's her food?

  • She didn't do it the first night so it started yesterday & has gotten worse today. Her food is what they had her on Nature's something or other. I know we need to switch it we just didn't get out of the house yesterday. When I get done feeding O I'll look through her hair. 

    I know with my dry skin changing shower water sources can make it worse but can the same be said about changing drinking water?

  • What LL Said.

    Danes are SUPER sensitive. Bentley is allergic to what seems like everything. 

    It could be her food, if you washed any of her bedder your laundry detergent, nervous reaction, season.. a number of things. 

    Our vet put him on Cephlex (sp) when his skin allergies get bad.

  • If there are fleas, you will either see them or their poop. It looks like black dirt on the skin.  I'd say it's probably allergies or sensitive skin.  Talk to the vet.  Carpeting could be a big factor.
