Itchy Dog who doesn't have fleas or allergies?

My dog is allergic to fleas and this isn't a problem during the winter. This summer he got a few at the dog park and we bough him Advantix. We applied it about a week ago and bathed him the day before yesterday to remove any dead fleas. He was thoroughly rinsed. We feed him corn free dog food, He is a 1 year old, neutered miniature American Eskimo dog. He also doesn't appear to have dry flaky skin. So there is his background the problem is he is itching like crazy behind his arms and on his tummy for the last week. He doesn't usually itch like this even when he had fleas. Any suggestions on what it could be or how to relieve his symptoms.

It could be that the park you went to used corn gluten to prevent crabgrass. It's a new 'natural' solution, although the bane of allergic dogs...

You should ask your vet for some steroid pills to calm it down, and perhaps some antibiotics - sometimes they can also get a secondary skin infection along with the rash.

In the meantime, here's my stock 'itchy dog answer, in cse it contains other info - like the fact that there are many top allergens other than corn.

But, beware the grass - I'll bet that is where your problem lies.

Itchy Dog Answer...
First. rinse him every day with tepid, not warm water.

That will remove anything that is causing a contact allergy - pollen, dust, grass ...

Make sure he has Frontline on, to ward off fleas.

Next, switch him carefully over to a 2 ingredient diet.
The top food allergens are corn, chicken,beef,soy, wheat, and dairy, but dogs can be allergic to just about anything.

Sometimes you can get away with just putting them on something like Nutro lamb & rice - you mighttry that first, just to see if it'll be that easy. Wellness has a very good line of hypoallergenic foods, and a bunch dogs have found relief with Atlantic Whitefish & Sweet potato (of course my dog is the only one in the world that is allergic to sweet potato!)...

You may have to resort to feeding a two ingredient diet - if the kibble doesn't work, pick two ingredients and feed them exclusinvely in their original form - like fish and oatmeal, say - so you actually know what the dog is eating. Jack Mackeral comes in a nice big can at the supermarket.

A couple weeks on that kind of diet won't hurt him, and if you find that is necessary too continue, you can look on www.BalanceIt.com for a recipe tool that will help you balance it for him, and Rx vitamins with no additives that will round out the diet so it's a good long term one.

Remember that any other treats - like beef bones, rawhide, or pig's ears - are the wrong food, and will cause a reaction if that's what he's allergic to, so cut those all out, and no table scraps, either. Chewable heartworm tablets are usually beef based, so you would also need the ones that aren't - there are some, I don't remember the name...

Speak to your vet about giving his some fish oil - omega 3 is a powerful anti-inflammatory, and only a food - but you must take into consideration whether your dog is susceptible to pancreatitis. Most healthy dogs are fine, but little dogs can get into trouble with smaller amounts of stuff - but it is a really good thing or dogs with any kind of skin problem, and a very easy fix.

Good luck, this is a tough problem to solve - but not impossible. But this is the way the top veterinary dermatologist in the US does it - and I have used it sucessfully on many dogs.
