Why is my Staffy still scratching and scooting after home remedies?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Staffordshire Bull Terrier | Female | spayed | 2 years and 11 months old

I’m becoming concerned about my 3 year old staff , she just keeps scratching all over and dragging her bottom along the floor. I’ve flea her , I’ve wormed her, change her food that has the omega 3 oils etc , I’ve tried yogurt, coconut oil and soaked her in camomile tea and nothing seems to be working

She probably needs allergy testing to find out what she is reacting too. Unfortunately pitbulls are prone to allergies. Ask your vet about allergy testing and immunotherapy. All you are doing is trying to placate her clinical signs - you are not treating the underlying cause of all her symptoms. ( https://veterinarypartner.vin.com/default.aspx?pid=19239&id=4952556 )
