My 3 yr old zu is constantly itching, I have used oatmeal shampoos, hypoallergenic shampoos, hot spot sprays ,flea powder, she does not have fleas or any sores. Please help

What does the vet have to offer? You have gone to one haven't you?

First thing comes to mind is a vet visit. My dog has allergies and that sounds like him before diagnosis. They can take a skin scrapping too to make sure there is no yeast infection, common when they scratch a lot

No actually I haven't taken her to the vet for this, I know I should, I just have to come up with the money to take her, that's why I was hoping for some ideas that might help

Unfortunately, without knowing what's causing the itch (which would require testing) there's really no way to give advice to stop it.

I did notice that you mentioned bathing, a lot. How often do you bathe your dog?

There's a lot of possible itchy skin diseases in dogs. Cause mine has Flea allergy dermatitis: It's a red, itchy pimple like bumps over the base of the tail, back of rear legs, and inner thighs. The scratching continues after fleas have been killed. So, better if you visit a vet. To know what the cause of that and gives your dog the right medicines

Its probably seasonal allergies. Dogs do get allergies and instead of excessive sneezing and runny nose/eyes, the express their allergy through itching.

Dogs can itch themselves to the point of raw skin, so it is best to go see a vet and get their help and possibly mediciations
