My dog won't stop scratching. What vet shots help with itching?

Question

Sara Farmer, DVM · Accepted Answer

There are several shots that can help with itching depending on what is causing the itching. Some veterinarians will give a short or long acting corticosteroid shot for allergy related itching. Cytopoint is a shot similar to a vaccine that helps to counteract itching from allergies as well. There are many other things that can cause itching as well that could require additional treatments - skin infections and external parasites for example. It would be best for your dogs to see your vet for a full exam, and the vet can then recommend tests and treatment.
