    Itching
    Hello, I have a 4 yr old bulldog who itches constantly. We have been through all types of food with her and allergy testing. I have found that if she is allowed to get on my bed or sit in my lap in a chair she will stop itching and can go all night without itching if she is in my bed if I don't let her in the bed she will itch all night long. Is it possible that she has a psych issue with this itching?

    Sounds like it could be behavioral thing. If you can, when you notice her itching, try and distract her with a chew toy or a bone or play time.If she has a favorite blanket or stuffie that you can wash with your clothes, you can try giving that to her as a distraction. Save it for when you notice her itching a lot. . Over time with the corrections she will forget all about the itching.

    Does she by any chance suffer from separation anxiety?
