Shailesh Sheth Webboard User Reg: 08-04-2006 Posts: 29 Loc: India Offline	Hi All, I own a Golden Retriever named KIA in India. She is a pure bread. She is bread in India but parents are import from UK and Australia. She is 2 1/2 years old now. Since childhood she has a habit of scratching. Mostly she scratches below armpits of front legs. She dose not have any Flea or Tik in her for sure. Most of the time she keeps on scratching. I have kept her very clean because of this. She is not on Dog food. She is having Raw Diet as advised in Grow Your Pups With Bones.I have tried changing her diet and shampoo too. Please help and advice on this. Thanks. Shailesh Sheth.

Also, is she breaking skin with scratching? Is there any waxy or greasy feel to the skin? Is there any odor? Is there any paw-itchiness? Are the ears clear (no inflammation or debris inside)? Is she getting fish oil? How bad is the itching? Is her sleep disturbed? Is she scratching frantically, or kind of lazily? P.S. How do you know there are zero fleas?

Shailesh Sheth Webboard User Reg: 08-04-2006 Posts: 29 Loc: India Offline	Thanks for your reply. No there is No breaking skin or greesy feel. But she often gets wax (Dark Brown)in her ears which i clean regularly. I also use Tea Tree Oil wax cleaner sometimes. I regularly give her Meera Coat or My Beau coat conditioner in which she gets fish oil. She scratches for about 15 to 20 times but for a longer period as about a minute every day. She does not have fleas as she dose not get mixed with other dogs and a i check it myself. If i find then i use Frontline immediately. She has been doing this since birth and dont know why. I have kept her very clean. She takes bath every 15 days as india is hot and humid. She also gets Tea Tree Oil and water bath if she is dirty in between. Waiting for suggestion. Has Mr Ed have to say on this topic.
