Have a year old male Rott. We have a scratching problem. No fleas but extremely dry skin...almost like cradle cap. Am giving supplements of Vit E and fish oil which he loves by the way, have even 'brushed' him with baby oil. It seems to come and go...but we are losing hair too...not that there are any noticeable bald spots...but lots and lots of hair on floor...any suggestions?

Have you done any research on what they call hot spots? I know there's stuff out there for dealing with itching problems. I know someone who has a dog with allergies that gets hot spots off and on. Sorry I don't know more about it. Good luck!

I have used a spray bottle with 1/3 vinegar and 2/3 water to spray on the dry area spots. It seems to help for a bit. I have also tried aloe vera on the itchy spots. It cools and soothes before bedtime so my dog can relax to sleep.

Sorry, when you said "we are losing hair too" - do you mean you, the owner, are losing hair as well as your dog? That could imply something chemical/parasites may be the problem...
