The fleas just aren't going away. We've tried flea drops, shampoo, flea collar and pretty much give him a bath every other day. He get comfort when having a bath now, whereas before he never cared for them. He's a happy dog when he's doing playing, going for walks, eating, getting cuddles, etc.. but otherwise he's jus constantsly scratching &starting biting wherever he can reach. At night a lot time I have to sit with him because he's whining. Sudocrem worked on his skin for abit now not so much.

Treat the environment, both inside and out for fleas. then you can do a seresto collar that will last about 6 months to help repell the fleas from getting on him and give a bravecto tablet that will last for 3 months and kill an fleas that get on him. It is proven that good flea control must be utilized for at least 3 months straight to break the life cycle of the eggs to eliminate the problem. His skin does seem inflamed and infected so your vet may need to see him to give him antibiotics and possibily steriods to contorl the itching and clear the infection until the fleas get under control.

There could be several reasons that Ramsey is still scratching himself. One important thing to remember is that not all flea prevention are created equal. The best products for fleas on the market are oral products such as Simparica. Oral products kill fleas within 4 hours. Topical products are generally 12 to 24 hours. When fleas die faster, pets are not bitten as often and usually it’s less. I recommend to discuss starting an oral product with your veterinarian. Another potential cause would be allergies or dry skin and not actually related to the flea you found. I do recommend to treat what you see so treat for fleas. Your veterinarian will also have medication to help stop the itching so that Ramsey is more comfortable quickly. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.
