Recently, I've noticed my dog scratching himself frequently, particularly on the belly, thighs and shoulders, and have noticed him chewing and licking at his legs. I have noticed some little black specks on his fur. The itching and scratching is getting worse and worse and I'm afraid that he may get a skin infection or something more serious. Does my dog have fleas? What sort of treatment should I start with? What other things should I do to handle an infestation?

My shitzu has a really bad skin problem and her hair is coming out. The vet said it was fleas, but I really don't think so, as I may only see one or two on her?

My dog is constantly scratching herself, even though she doesnt have a rash or fleas. She also smells bad even though we give her a bath everyday with oatmeal. Is it possible that she has some kind of skin infection?

I have a 10 month old shepherd mix who has developed many white bumps inside both ears. It started as roughness like small scabs. I thought from playing with the neighbor kitten but the white spots are there now also much more of the roughness. Nothing appears in the canals just in the cartilage. Is this a problem?

Vet keeps telling us he has ear infections. Everyone else, internet pictures, and info tell us he has ear mites. Antibiotics aren't doing it, the dog is scratching and going crazy, shedding. Help! When do you know a dog's ear mite are too severe?
