Hi our 10 years old beagle has frequent itchiness bout..been to different vets to no avail ..each visit caused 1000+ or more.. anyone knows of any over the counter drugs or Lazada that can help... thanks in advance...

Have you tried bathing it with a flea dig additive in the water? I assume that is the reason for the itchiness.

Our nine-year-old Jack Russell started to scratch frequently for no apparent reason earlier this year. The vet diagnosed allergies and we were given Apoquel to alleviate his symptoms.

 

Apoquel from the vet is a bit pricey, but I haven't found a cheaper alternative so far.

One of my dogs scratches incessantly around her stomach.  It's not bugs as all my dogs get bug meds and I don't see any bugs on her.
So I've used coconut oil on her stomach.  It helps a lot.

Was getting a monthly shot for ticks and fleas from the Vet, after about 4 years the dog started scratching non stop, went to the vet for the monthly shot and they noticed the dog scrstching, dog had developed and  allergie to the injection. Stopped the injections and within a month the dog stopped scratching, now only use the liquid on the back of the neck all is good

Dog is not flea infected..

We just bath him with whatever drugs prescribed by the vets...when itch starts poor guy starts barking and howling.. rubbing the body against the floor..

Obviously has a skin complain. I am surprised if the vet can not prescribe something for it.

It could be mites.  A bug med like Bravecto will kill mites including mange.  He may need an oral systemic bug killer that targets ticks, fleas, mange, and other mites.

Our vet prescribed Bravecto for our dog, but after 2 doses by the vet, I now buy them from Lazada and give it to my dog myself.
