Dry Skin??

[DogLover9501]

Jasper digs alot, with his paws, and mouth!

Last night, I got into bed, and he wanted to get up, so I lifted him up, from unerneath his paws sort of, and my hand got soaked, so I turned the light on, and he was digging, with his mouth I guess, and had his, under his arm-arm pit I guess, soaken and most of the hair off it :eek: I havent seen him digging or anything, but he seems to have dry skin or something, always scratching and digging. He always has his neck very sore too!

I have been putting a raw egg over his food, maybe once a week, will this help dry skin? Or is he maybe alergic to something :confused: Please give any suggestions on what might be causing all the scratching and what I could do, thanks!

**Also: I will have PICTURES :o later on today lol**

Sounds like an allergy to me. I'd stop the raw egg, it can cause salmonella. Yes, dogs can get it. :)

What kind of food does he eat? Coul dit be from the shampoo you use?

Do you use a humidifier in your house this time of year? If not, get one. You'll love it. It makes my skin smoothe and soft, even in the winter.

You can try adding some fish oil to his food, or ask the vet about some vitamin E supplements. :) Dry skin can also come from poor nutrition, or a food his body just doesn't agree with.

Okay thanks!!

Also right now he's eating Pedigree, but Im going to switch him to Innova or wellness or chicken soup or something if I can find any of those!
