Itchy Dogs
Itchy Dogs
by Busters Mum » Mon Feb 18, 2019 1:25 pm
A strange question I know, but has anyone else who walks their dogs around El Recorral, or the ‘broken road’ , found that their dogs are getting itchy skin, particularly on their legs?
Mine have been treated at the vet since November on an elimination diet but it hasn’t helped so we think it’s environmental.
I’m trying to figure out what’s causing it

No, it started in November with one of them, and the other two started more recently. They’re being walked on leads so we’d see if they got near caterpillars.

I wouldn't walk my dogs anywhere near the pine trees. You don't have to see the caterpillars for them to do damage to your dogs. The caterpillars leave hairs on the ground where they have been and if your dog sniffs at the ground then the hairs can harm them. My dog lost half of his tongue due to sniffing the ground where they had been and we didn't see the caterpillars either and there was only one pine tree on the road where we walked him. The signs of a dog being affected by them are frothing at the mouth, being sick and not letting you touch their mouth. I got him to the vets in time to save his life, but after a couple of days the end of his tongue turned grey and literally dropped off.

Good reply from Lavender, it us not the caterpillar which is the problem but the hairs they shed when disturbed. These hairs can lay active on the ground for a few days so best to keep dogs away from pine trees showing evidence if caterpillars.

Cat food spread daily on the broken road, attracts not only a lot of wild and domestic cats, which multiply unregulated. Backteries, diseases and parasites are also the logical consequence for humans and animals. Unfortunately, the cat feeders do not think that far.

In reply to above post,Benijofar, Formentura del segura, appoint registered cat feeders,and have a capture ,neuter and release program and have specific areas for feeding feral cats,showing a responsible way of dealing with the feral cat population,Not sure if Rojales council have the same,hope they do!prehaps Martin the artist knows as hes a good source of info,and p.s. theres lots of caterpillars nesting in the pine trees/nature park at the back of Rojales Mercadonna and around the cave houses.

Hi, sorry this is a bit late. I am a police dog trainer of some years. There may be many causes for itchiness in hot climates. Daily dust, mites, and the most common one is salt water. If you walk your dog around the sea, make sure the salt water is thoroughly rinsed back home, making sure not to shampoo. ( this will take natural oils out )
