Biting and No Fleas - Page 1

I have 2 dogs that are biting at there skin and I have not seen one flea on them. What can cause a dog to bite at them selves. They do not have dry skin either. Any ideas or suggestions on what to do? Both dogs are from completly different lines. I do use frontline on them.

Also weed allergy can cause it, ear and face rubbing, biting all over with no fleas.I think it is a kind of hives Use a kid antihistmine and treat hot spots I just use calmine lotion and I would stop shots as I believe they cause gsd to get allergies JMO

had the same problem with my dogs, and vet thought allergies. than this year my daughter and i had alot of bites on us after being next to the dogs, and  vet suggested it might be mites. i did a bunch of research online and concluded it could be sarcoptic mange. spunky was so bad she had chewed bare patches on her flanks, and kept picking at a sore on her leg. after 5 treatments of lime sulfur-dip, whatever it was, was all was fixed. lime dip is an anti-microbial and anti-parasitic solution. it is very very very stinky but it did help alot.

Well both dogs are feed Royal Canine dog food for at least 2 years now. Both are given fresh eggs every couple of days, have for over a year. I thought it might be misq bites or nit bites. There are no sores, no hair loss, no hot spots nothing. I try to only bath them every couple of months, so they will not have dry skin.

HI' JUST RD YOR  COMMENT AND I  CULD SUGGEST HOT SPOTS YOU MIGHT NEED TO ADDRESS YOUR VET I HOPE THIS MAY HELP I'V SEEN THIS BEFORE AND BLAMED FOOD SO RULE IT OUT
