Dashound itching

Question
We have a female Dachshund.She is a long hair and is between five to eight years old.She is very well cared for and we really check the food and treats that she gets.She also gets a fish oil pill every morning and She is bathed weekly which only gives her a short time of relief from her itching distress.I'm at my wits end.I'm willing to do whatever it takes to get her some relief. Thanks Bob  

Answer
Hi Bob-

It sounds like she is really having some allergies, but unfortunatly I don't have enough information here to really help. Please write back with some of the following information and I would be happy to assist!

1)What brand of food is she on, is it wet or dry, and how often does she eat it?

2)What type of shampoo are you bathing her with weekly)

3)Is she on flea control? if so, what kind?

4)Does she have hives, raised bumps or open sores?

5)Is her skin flakey?


If you could send some of this back to me, I would be happy to help. Thanks!
