My dog would scratch each spring until the fur was gone and she was about to bleed. I used anti itch cream for humans. applied it heavily several days, several times a day and she stopped itching. I only have to do that about every other year now. Vet never found the reason my dog itched. My neighbor spent lots at the vet on her cat, and they put a collar around her neck to make it hard for the cat to scrath. I gave her my cortizone10 and it worked for her cat. An old neighbor told me about it, he had used it on his dogs for years. It works for us. Its cheap and worth a try.
Be good to yourself and be good to this earth.

I have been feeding my three dogs, Taste of the Wild dog food. Thank goodness I don't have severe problems with any of our dogs. But I read about Taste of the Wild, grain free dog food, so we tried it. All three of our dogs, ages 1, 3 and 13 are thriving on it! Gracie, our mini Aussie was scratching alot, and she has stopped completely. Her coat is unbelievable now! Taffy our 13 year old mixed breed is much more playful than she was before. And Barney, our WalMart rescue is doing great all around! Barney had demadex mange when we got him at 6 weeks old - he has been on meds for the mange, but it's all gone!
Read the testimonies on their web page. Many dogs with hot spots are all better with this food! Tractor Supply carries it here.
Good luck - hope you find the answer for Bear and you!
