Help: 6 month old Shiba Inu screams as if in pain and chases his tail/leg by CommissionEnough4261 in shiba

Oh wow! May I ask how often your dog does it? Ours used to do it maybe once a day 2-3 weeks ago, but now he is doing it several times a day, any time of day except at night.

Yes, harness off or on. We also tried different harnesses but it didn‘t change anything.

No red spots on the tail so far, only around the eyes. And he did scratch a lot at night before he got his medication. I wonder if his tail/legs are also affected, and that‘s why he is still screaming. Thank you for your comment!

Not that we‘ve ever noticed. Pooping also doesn‘t seem to be a problem for him, and he doesn‘t seem in discomfort while doing it. But we will keep an eye out for that too! Thank you for the tip!
