We have an eight week old Golden Doodle that has been biting and scratching a lot. We have taken him to the vet who thinks it may be lice (though I can’t find any) and gave him a dose of advantage 5 days ago – no relief seems worse at times.
It really gets bad at night or early morning, he will wake up crying and biting at himself. His skin looks fine, however there is a dandruff starting to appear – white flakes.
I have tried everything I can think of – oatmeal baths, natural flea sprays (even though I don’t see any fleas), etc.
He is on a natural no grain dog food – Taste of the Wild Salmon Formula, he also gets Before Grain meats – Buffalo and Salmon, I even add salmon oil to the dry food if not feeding canned.
So now I am stuck – I am thinking it may be yeast and putting him on Nzymes to see if that helps.
I am not submitting a picture as there really is nothing to see.
Thanks for your help and I look forward to hearing from you soon
