    Just wondering if anyone else has had the problem with their dog "fly snapping?"

    It looks like they are biting at the air, like they are snapping at flys...

    It seems to be getting worse, as well he is itching pretty badly too....

    HELP!

    There is an anti-itch spray you can get at Petco that helps with the itching. It could be allergies too. Maybe an antihistamine would help? Not sure about the fly snapping.

    Well, he could just have fleas. He's itching the fleas and then biting at them when they jump off.

    Well, I don't think the fleas are an issue....

    But, I'm thinking that allergies are an issue....

    Yeah, it usually happens to him with this dry weather..

    The fly snapping issue, some say, is actually seizures or hallucinations. And they prescribed some medicine that isn't working all that great.
