He has lost hair on his front and back paws.his always scratching his ear,sometimes it bleed


It sounds like your dog is experiencing quite a bit of discomfort with hair loss and itching, especially around the paws and ears. This can be due to several factors, such as allergies—either environmental or food-related—parasites like fleas or mites, or even skin infections. Given that your dog is scratching his ears to the point of bleeding, it's clear that he's in significant discomfort, and this needs to be addressed promptly.
At home, there are a few steps you can take to help alleviate his symptoms:
First, check for any parasites. Examine your dog's skin and ears closely for signs of fleas or mites. Fleas are usually visible to the naked eye, but mites might require a more thorough inspection. If you suspect parasites, using a flea and tick prevention product could be beneficial.
If you think allergies might be the culprit, try to identify any recent changes in your dog's environment or diet. Sometimes, switching to a hypoallergenic diet can make a difference, but remember to do this gradually to avoid further issues.
For ear care, gently clean your dog's ears with a vet-approved ear cleaner. Be cautious not to use cotton swabs deep in the ear canal, as this can cause additional harm.
To soothe the skin, consider applying a pet-safe anti-itch spray or cream to the affected areas. This can provide some relief from the itching.
Keep an eye out for signs of infection, such as redness, swelling, or a foul odor. If you notice these symptoms, it might require more immediate veterinary attention.
Given that this issue has been ongoing for a year and involves bleeding, it would be wise to have a veterinarian examine your dog. They can help determine the underlying cause and provide appropriate treatment. A vet can perform tests to rule out infections or allergies and suggest a tailored treatment plan.
If you have any further questions or need more guidance, please feel free to ask. Thank you for reaching out, and I hope your dog feels better soon.
