Hi, I wonder if you could help with our situation with our 1 year old french bulldog Coco. Over the past couple of months she has become really itchy. When I say itchy she will scratch and chew all day long. She is making her skin soo sore and in places it’s bleeding. She has seen the vet when it first started she doesn’t have fleas and is on a good flea and wormer tablet each month. The vet suggested changing her food to grain and wheat free which we done and to give her a piriton each day. So I have also researched the web and found a few things to try as well so she has coconut oil on her food each day and read that can help with skin irritations. I also give her natural yoghurt everyday. Only a couple of spoonfuls but read this can help too. I brought from our local pet store a good shampoo that was recommended for sensitive skin so have been bathing her in this with warm water once a week to try and help sooth her skin.
So none of this is working she is getting worse ��. I’m now wondering if it’s behavioural? I have seen it can be anxiety related but she is with one of us ALL the time, we have 2 other dogs so she has company all day long and is given plenty of love and cuddles so it’s not for attention as she gets all of mine lol. If anyone has any suggestion we can try I would be soo grateful as this is driving us mad having to constantly say ‘coco stop itching’ so she isn’t ripping her skin off ��. I feel like that all I do now and I’m not having the fun with her I was because I’m always moaning at her for scratching and biting herself.
