Hi... My shihtzu is 4 months old and has been itching all over. His Skin looks nice and baby pink and cannot find any ticks or fleas on him since hes got so much hair. What could be the reason for itching under his belly and mainly on his neck. Cannot find any redness. Could it be dry skin in this weather. What can I do. I have bathed him once 15 days ago but hes been itching even before that .. though the itching has increased quite a bit. Can we use diluted ACV for such a small puppy to stop the itch.?? If so, what is the proportion and how often?

The ticks and fleas maynot be visible try to groom him with flea comb u may find any As u said he doesn't have any rashes but it can be fungal infection also or can be atopy So get a vet consultation to diagnose why the itching is increasing day by day

Hes on a home based diet of chicken breast, beans carrot, beetroot and a little rice.
Dr. Kaveri Giriraddi
As he is on home based diet it's good to know
Dr. Kaveri Giriraddi
But the skin infection van be because of flea or bacterial or can be fungal do have to be diagnosed properly at the early stage ONLY
