I have an Australian Shepherd puppy that is 4 months old. She has been itchy for a while now. I can't figure out what is wrong with her. She get regular baths, has been treated for fleas and lice. I have not seen any signs of either, but treated anyway. I took her to the vet and he could not see anything wrong with her. I've tried special shampoos, sprays and anything else I can get my hands on. Does anyone have a guess at what is wrong with her, I feel so sorry for her and want to help her so badly. :'(
Thank you for any advice!

it could be the food she eating,this happen to gollie my swd,i put her on lamb/rice by nurto no problem and stop itching,if the shampoo as any coconut byproduct in it that be causeing the itching as alot of human are allergic to it,the only reason i know that is at i am a hairdresser,

Welcome to the forum QT :-)

What be you feeding her?

Also, cut out all the baths. They have a drying effect and will not help the problem.

Thank you for the welcome.

I am feeding her Science Diet Puppy food. Also she gets fresh cows milk once a day since we are dairy farmers. I will try switching her food.

I'm not an expert QT, but I would try keeping her on the hills and cutting out the milk for a couple of weeks and see how you go :-)

Hi QT

It could also me the milk as cows milk is very different from dogs milk and she might be reacting to that :)

Has she always been itchy or has it started since you had her? What was her breeder feeding her on?

Sorry I know that is more questions but that might help provide the answer. If she hasn't changed food from what her breeder was giving her I would probably try leaving the milk out first before swapping foods. :)

She has been itchy since we got her. The breeder was feeding her Iams puppy food. I switched her slowly as is recommended.

I dont mind answering questions! Anything to help the poor baby!

Thank you all for being so helpful!!!! :D
