Hello,I have got a very itchy 7 month french mastiff cross puppy.He has got small red raised spots that seem to move around, at first I thought they was flea bits so off to the vets! We have had the house fumigated, he has aways been teated with advacote and we have never seen a flea! so that rules out fleas. We have had a skin scrape test and that come back clear.He was given anti-histermins which have been useless. Hes always been fed on arden grange large bread puppy food witch is hypo-allergenic but I changed that to wainwrights so I dont think it is a food allergy. The vets have now given a steriod injection and therios palt 750 mg tablets. I have also tried flea shampoos and tea tree oil.
Any advice would be greatly received as its so upsetting watching try to tear himself apart!

The cat does catch mice and feed them to him,I intercept when I can but he will swallow them alive if he thinks you are going to take them away! On the up side he won best puppy at a dog show today.
