I have a 1 1/2 year old, female Shih Tzu. She is having some skin problems. She tends to bite around her backside, near her bottom. We have put her on a non-wheat diet, that didn't reduce the itching what so ever. We have given her flea medicine, and we wash her with flea shampoo everytime we give her a bath, which is about once a week. I don't know what is causing her to itch so much! We have taken her to a vet, and all they could do was give us a medicated shampoo for her skin. Even that didn't even work! So what is going on here?

Thank You For Your Help!

Yikes why on earth would the vet allow you to wash your dog once a week with flea shampoo? Flea shampoo, even if its "all natural" is not for once a week use. Your flea meds should take care of the problem.

Did the vet express her anal glands?
