In order to treat your pet’s itchy skin, your vet will need to determine the cause of the itch first. Identifying the cause can take time. While tests are carried out, there are a number of itch relieving medications your vet can prescribe to keep your pet comfortable in the meantime. Treatments for infectious causes include parasiticides, antibiotics and antifungals. Often medicated shampoos, creams and sprays are recommended. If the itching has not resolved at this stage some more investigations will determine other possible causes such as flea allergy dermatitis or a food allergy. Your vet will develop a treatment plan specific to your pet. Atopic dermatitis is a life-long condition and requires life-long treatment. In order to manage this condition, a combination of treatments are usually required.
