      This almost sounds like a hormone problem for the dog. Ask the doc to check hormone balance.

        Buy some local honey and give small amounts. It must be local so check around. This can take a while to have a full effect so in the meantime you can give Benadryl (diphenhydramine) at 1 mg per ponds body weight for temporary relief. A diet change can take 4 to 6 weeks to have a full effect.

          When this happened to my Border Collie, my vet checked his thyroid and found it low. After just a few weeks on thyroid supplement, he was good as new. He only had to take it for a year, and then his thyroid checked out normal, so he stopped taking it.
