Before I take Scorrie to the vet has anyone any idea why he pesisitently scratches his left side?:confused

he's been showered,tick@flead,diet changed,brushed ......I've looked and once you find his skin its not inflamed or red.

When you rub his bum which he loves the leg goes up to scatch his side.

I think its just him, OH not convinced.:roll:

Doesn't sound serious CP...........my daughters dog was doing similar and she dabbed the area with vinegar every now and then and he stopped. The famous bum scratch my girl loves and she wiggles and riggles and tries to scratch.........probably just a tickle spot if there are no sign of irritation. :)

When you rub his belly and he scratches, that's usually just a joyful reaction to the rub, but his scratching at other times could be caused by grass mites, or sand mites if he runs on the beach. Have you had him groomed, sometimes a good bath with a mild shampoo or medicated shampoo and groom out can help.
