My labradoodle is itchy but does not have fleas. what can cause this?

Question

She bites and scratches, mostly her legs and paws, until she is bald and bleeding.

Answer 1

Legs and paws sounds like allergies.  A vet visit can definitely take care of your problem, but allergies always take time to get a handle on, so be patient and consistent with whatever treatment plan the vet thinks is best.  Some vets do opt for steroid shots, which are a quick source of relief, but continued, repeated use can be bad for your baby. Keep an open mind to other options, too.

Answer 2

mites, dermititus, skin fungus, food allergies, environmental toxins - get thy mutt to the vet.

Answer 3

It can be alergy, parasite, microbial infection. Or inflammation of anal glands.

Diagnosis can determine just the vet.

Answer 4

My beagle had this, and it was an allergy to grass, believe it or not. You need to see the vet for a med.

Answer 5

Allergies, skin infection, time for a vet visit.
