Have you looked her over for fleas? Check the back of her neck, under her armpits and near her rear end.
Regular bathing does not kill fleas, you will need a medicated shampoo to kill them if she is infested.

@pennypup i checked her for tick and fleas , she doesn't have it and the itching is not continuous its an on and off process. the itching just started like 2 days back now .

Did you bathe her recently since feeding the home cooked diet?

Bathing can dry out a dogs skin so you must use a gentle shampoo with oatmeal if possible. I only bathe my dog 3 times a year to keep his skin from getting dried out.

It could be causing her to itch.

well yes i will go for an oatmeal shampoo ,but bathing that i cant avoid , she's a long coat and the climate over here is also hot so atleast have to bathe her once in a month , i'll try getting an oatmeal shampoo though.

Golden rule....never buy a pet from someone who does it for a living as their life depends on the sale of the puppy and once sold it is a closed chapter. which breed are you looking for and why ? How would u know they are showing the correct pictures, most of the breeders will show u only fake parents as they dont want u to get in contact with the breeder so that u will know the actual price and comission :) I only breed rottweilers for 7 years now and i have friends who breed labs, golden and other breeds as a speciality and they do it for passion for the breed and not $$$ Thanks & Regards Lorven Pet Shop New BEL ROAD, Bangalore Shop Location > http://tinyurl.com/7rv87uk

I am not a doc but have experience...of 10 years with dogs Few questions... Does your dog have ticks ? Check the temp with a thermometer and let me know. Give microdox ( 1 tab per 10kg body weight ) If it still doesnt eat then take to doc immediately as saline needs to be given.
