When I bought her, she was fully covered with ticks and fleas. The vet is giving antibiotics and shampoo. Now after 1 month, the ticks and fleas are gone, but she's itching continuously. Her entire skin is also getting black and she is licking her paws too. She is also discharging white pus from her vagina.
Can someone tell me what happened to my dog?She is just 80 days old.

OK got you covered. I just went through this with my dog. I had to take him to the vet because the itching was so bad. I had tried many things at home but I just could not get him to stop itching.
My vet asked me what I fed the dog. I told him and he said that he felt this was a food allergy and to stop buying the canned food to feed the dog. He wanted me to change the dog food to only giving him dried dog food, rice, pasta, and some cooked meat scraps such as beef or chicken. He did give the dog some shots for the itching and also some medicine he had to take for 2 weeks.
Within a day or two, the dog was no longer itching, the hair was growing back and I have had no more issues since. I think this could actually be the same issue as mine but you will need to see a vet for sure. Your dog could have an issue with the food or fleas that is causing his itching all the time. Please take him in to see the vet get a professional opinion on this. My dog was eating himself raw and was so read and so much hair loss. I was happy I took him to the vet.
There are too many variables that could be causing all of these things/reactions and only a qualified vet can determine what to do next.
Vet bills can be expensive but until your pup recovers I can see no way to avoid a trip to the vet.
Please take the pup back to the vet or if you can, get a second opinion. It sounds like there are a variety of things going on here and it may require both a diet change and medications.
Post back with updates! Prayers for healing!
That sounds so painful for your fur baby, This could be many things from , food, to shampoo, medication, detergents, allergies, etc. The Vet has more knowledge on how to proceed on what's next , to take care of this problem. Our animals need our help for better help. They are are voiceless . Take to Vet as soon as you can, full recover is coming!
The pus is concerning. It is likely bacterial infection and will not clear up on its own. You will need antibiotics from the Vet. It can become very serious if you dont treat it now.
I'm so sorry your dog is having this issue, but I have a suggestion. I had a Italian mastiff that was having a similar problem. Bacon grease is great for the skin. After making bacon mix some of the grease in with his dog food only once a week.
My sisters dog was always itchy. She had allergies. She had to have special food and medication. She was never 100%, but she was reasonably comfortable. See your vet and take his or her advice.
