Does anyone have any suggestions for 11 week old puppies that itch themselves a lot? Maybe a spray We treated her for fleas and used the drop type flea control on her between her shoulder blades? However, she still itches? I don't see any fleas on her? Is she too young for a flea bath or do you think it's just sensitive skin?

It could be dry skin or an allergy. Did she have lots of fleas before you treated her? Is she only scratching? or are there other symptoms?

Maybe read this and see if any of it seems to apply.

She did have fleas...not a lot...but I did see a few. So, we did the drops in between her shoulder blades and she still scratches. It might be her collar too? The symptoms in the article didn't really apply to her I don't think? She doesn't have a rash, nor is she losing her hair. Hmm...
