Question
our girl itches all the time she takes different types of meds.nothing seems to help.is this normal?

Answer
HI Barb!
I was having the same problem.  I didn't think there were fleas, but I finally found one.  ONE flea was driving her crazy! Make sure there are no fleas.  Also, she may have allergies, but you mention she is on med, is it for that?  If so, it may be dry skin.  Give her a bath with medicated shampoo. Let the shampoo sit on her skin for 5-10 min before rinsing. This will soothe her skin and hopefully stop or cut back on all the itching!

God Bless!
