I have a Shitz Su (sp) dog. He is 15 years old now. For the last few years, every summer, he itches constantly.He has very sensitive skin. I know he gets fleas, as I have an outdoor-indoor cat. I can't seem to control them or his iyching. Everytime I shampoo him with flea shampoo (prescription from the vet) he itches more. If I use a hypo-allergenic shampoo its the same.He has pulled most of his hair out and has chewed himself raw. I've bombed the house, etc. Alot of times I know the fleas are gone but he still itches. I feel so bad for him.I've tried all kinds of medications on him. He starts to heal up some and then starts all over. Any help at all or suggestions would greatly be appreciated. Thank you.

Also, everytime I take him in to be groomed, even in the winter months, he does the same thing, but it isn't as bad. I trhink he has very dry sensitive skin.
