biting his back

my 9 mth old staf, keeps biting his back, and he has made his back sore and bleeding. we have tried sudocream on it, and medicated treated shampoo, dont know what else to do,

If its bleeding and sore I would pop to the vets, it may need stronger treament Xx

general store bought stuff doesn't tend to work brilliantly. Pop to the vets he may have an allergy or something.

I would also advise a trip to the vet to see what they say

How often do you bath him?

It could be his skin has dried out too much. A quick trip to his vet should sort it out.

Where abouts on his back is he chewing? I get a lot of strays coming in to me with chewed up backs, diagnosis has ranged from flea allergys to pain from hip dysplasia! Best bet would be to go to a vets and get a few tests done, it can get very painful and infected if left untreated! Piriton may help for the time being if it's allergy related Good luck!

We have been using an ointment highly recommended by several friends called camrosa
Skye had a irritation from a collar and manged to scratch a lot of hair out long story short we have been using it on her for just under 2 weeks and the difference is amazing her fur is growing back nicely and her skin is not red and irritated
It is pricey but for all the treatments we've tried this has certainly been well worth it

Camrosa is very good as long as the problem is a specific thing such as mites. It isn't much good against an allergy, or an anxiety-based hair loss.

Some dogs will chew themselves through stress. I think a trip to the vets would be in order to rule out mites etc.

Yep, it must be driving him nuts if he's chewed it so badly to make it bleed, raw sore skin is asking for infection. Your vet needs to take a look and maby even do a hair pluck or skin scrape to see what's up.
