I have a 2 year old Chihuahua that is itching a couple of spots that are at his lower back, just above his hip. The areas are red and losing fur. It seems like his back is itching him at times as he lays on his back and wiggles on the carpet to itch his back.
I have tried switching shampoos to an anti-itch formula, use a spray to treat itchy skin and just recently changed his food. We were feeding both dogs (we have another dog who is a papillon mix) Dog Chow and recently switched to Nutro Natural Care Small Breed. I notice that their fur is shinier, but the Chihuahua is still itching a bit (not as bad as before).
It has only been a week and a half since the food change. Should I try a different food or give this food more time?
