Hi!
My friend's community dog is scratching herself quite a lot and a few bald patches can also be seen. What could be the reason for this? Also, how can it be treated?

Hi Swati. Such scratching tendency is seen in case of tick or flea or lice or mite infestation/fungal or bacterial infection. It’s best to get him clinically examined by booking a home consultation with a vet. For now, to avoid scratching, plz give Tab Atarax 10mg (1-0-1) for 5 days. But remember, unless root cause is eliminated, itching will start again after stopping medicine.

Most of the community dogs suffer from tick infestation. Use any spot on to control ticks.
