Dog recently started scratching

Posted on 2009/03/28 by Bill Groth

Fern

Recently, our 12 yr. old yellow lab, Fern, has started licking and scratching herself. Feet, belly and legs are all targets. No sign of fleas. Sometimes wakes us at night with the thumping. She eats IAMS dog food, and we recently started adding a teaspoon of safflower oil to her food for possible dry skin. Any ideas? Thanks!
