Itchy Skin

The past couple of days Duke has been chewing the base of his tail and he seems to be itchy. We searched for fleas and found nothing and we bathed him to try to sooth his skin but this morning he is still chewing. Any ideas how we can sooth his skin? I think it might be from the weather change? Would love to hear your thoughts.

he may need his anal glands emptied ?

Would that make his poop soft too?

Yes it could do. I would go and have his anal glands checked.

i agree i to had a dog cald juke he did it all the time when his glands needed sorting shall we say at one point his tail would be bald : its a bit of an embarresing thing for them and they dnt like it to much

So take him to the vet to have it done?

it could be worms?

yes its takes 30 seconds and he will feel very relieved

other than that have you bathed him in anyhting different? teetree shampoo is good for itchy skin as well as piriton
