Question
My dog is named Emma.She is always scratching herself.We went to the vet and the vet has tired everything.For example-blod tests,exams and medicines but none have worked.Please help me out!Is there a home remedie I can do to help her?Or is there any special medicine I can try?Please write every thing you know about this and how to treat it!Thank you so much

Answer
Did she have a skin scraping done to check for skin mites?

You can have allergy testing done as this may be the cause.

What is "everything" that your vet tried?  Was she on anti-histamines or steroids?

I would recommend switching to a hypoallergenic diet such as Wellness Sweet Potato and Fish or Nature's Recipe Venison and Rice.

Omega 3 Fatty Acids are good for the skin and provide anti-inflammatory properties as well as help prevent dry skin.

Ester-C is good as well...you can give 10 mg per pound twice daily.

If it is truly inhaled allergies (Atopy) then I would consider the new medication called ATOPICA.
