Answer 1

I would take her to the vet immediately. There are a number of problems it could be. I'm no vet so I can't truthfully tell you what any of them are, but if you can't get her to the vet any time soon, I would get her one of thse head cones so she can't reach her neck and paws. Hope this helps! ;)

Answer 2

I don't know why you would want to waste your time with homeopathic remedies. Homeopathics do not work. They take a tiny bit of something that causes the same problem you want to get rid of and dilute it down to almost nothing. Homeopathics were used before anyone knew any better. There is no place for homeopathics in the modern world. That said, you need to go back to your vet to see if you can find out why your dog is itching so much. Follow your vet's instructions perfectly. There are anti-itch shots and pills that can be prescribed and will really help your dog a lot. Maybe your dog needs a stronger antihistamine. If that is the answer then your vet will know. Cutting the hair won't make any difference unless it is matted hair and fleas, ticks, mites or lice that are causing your dog to itch so badly. If you can't get treatment for your dog and/or you will only go partway, such as getting the shots but not the pills, you ought to have the dog put out of his misery.

Well some dogs have flea dermatitis meaning they are allergic to fleas and this is why it happends. My do had this problem at one point and I got her sintenel its a pill that controls fleas and heartwork it works in the bloodstream. Along with this medication you should also use Frontline Plus I take my dog a bath in Adam's shampoo its a dog shampoo also.

Sounds like Ellie has allergies! You need to get her to the vet to get some prednisone and some RX shampoo to help ease the allergy then you need to figure out what she is allergic to! The most common allergy in dogs is to their food. If you are feeding her a cheap dog food such as Ol'Roy then she is likely to be allergic to it. She needs to be eating a high quality, low residue food such as Eukanuba or Iams. Good Luck

Answer 8

Our dog had the sme thing on his back, she may be getting mange which is a infection by tiny parasites on the skin, I'd get her to a vet as soon as possible

Answer 9

My dog does the exact same thing, and the vet diagnosed her with skin allergies. I would take Ellie in and get her checked out.

Answer 10

She may have fleas, or she may have what is called a "hot spot", there is medicine available for either. Just go to your local superstore or pet store and read labels until you find what matches her symtoms best. Good luck!!
