Siberian Husky Forum:
Itching

I have a Chinook (Sled Dog), 17 months old. He is itching constantly. The vet took hair scrapings and ruled out mange. I can't find anything on his skin or his hair to indicate why he's itching. I am giving him Fatty Acid capsules but they only help a little. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Do you still have this problem? My dog was itching at the same spot on his stomach. The doctor called it a "hot spot" and said that it was normal. He gave me some ointment to put on it, since my pet had rubbed himself raw, and then he stopped doing it. I hope your dog is doing better!
