Found out today at vets that flea drops I put on my dog has caused a skin reaction on my little dog causing him to scratch. He also had a bad reaction to a certain flea collar I put on him in the past.

It could be mites (flea treatment doesn't touch them). There are plenty of anti mite shampoos on ebay etc. Shampoo 3 times in one week and twice the next week to disrupt their egg to mite life cycle.
Things like this can get out of hand over a long period. Your concern is quite justified👍

...ti allergy shampoo, I am giving her cod liver oil tablets thinking it might be dry skin. She has just been to vet for Rabies injections so I don't really want her to have more injections for antihistamine treatment just yet. She has had several different foods, sachets, dry food, soft roll like Webbox, currently on cooked chicken. but still she scratches.
Hi Flamencalady, With ref to your dog problem, our friends had a similar situation over several years and they spent a fortune on vets investigations and medication. I will do a cut & paste of their reply to me today :-Now, the problem with the dog scratching. We can only go on what we have found out with Bella and would like to keep the ladies costs down as far as possible. Having the dog tested for allergies is an expensive process and with Bella, found that it was the protein in dog food. We found that Mega( a German company) have a herring and potato kibble. We actually had a sample packet before purchasing it. The shop that stocks the food is :- Mundoviviente, Calle Rosa/Torrevieja, Esquire 03193 San Miguel Tel 966840215.

After finding out about Bellas allergy, she also has Apoquel. You need to visit the vets to get them but those tablets are expensive ( 2 euros a day) so I would try just the dog food first.
Hope this helps.

Helllo, had dogs all my life and worked with assistance dogs. A few questions.
is your dog itching and scratching the same part of the body
Is your dog loose when toileting
Does your dog show any signs of redness or sores under tummy and around inside of legs
Has your dog been recently microchipped
Has your dog been wormed recently
