Have you squeezed the anal glands?? Squeeze them and see if they are full..   If not.... collar, antihistamines and vets in the morning. Had a terrier like this, it was a fecking nightmare and cost

I'd say Shane is on his way to fixing the problem, please God.   BUT, Topper , your post made me laugh. Did you go through the child cruelty that I did as a kid ????????????? Because my parents use

Allergy? Maybe take it to vet an get a skin scraping look at it under microscope.

 

these things start when the dogs get board then they get so bad they cant stop chewing. bitch i had some years ago started to do it and an old greyhound boy gave me some black tar ointment they use for horses hoofs dont the trick not sure what it was called

 

Probably Stockholm Tar.

According to the old school it cures everything, from bad bites to leprosy.

that mite be the stuff.

I don't know if it's a good thing or not but the ol' boys knew a trick or two.

One thing that the tar and oil did do was that it made enough of a barrier to stop fungal infections spreading and infections getting in.

 

But, they did also bury a lot of dogs that didn't need burying.

When I lived in Spain seen a lot of folk use diesel and burnt oil on dogs for skin complaints, mange, fleas, sand fly etc. They also used rags soaked in diesel to attract boar and painted tar and burnt oil on trees boar would rub their bodies on it
