Hey Tina,
You're in a tough place, and I've been here with my own itchy patients in the past.
The problem is, it's very hard to find the best, most suitable remedy after an animal has been through lots of drug therapy first. And, unfortunately, far too many come late to the homeopathic vet.
We depend on clear and better, "characteristic" symptoms, and these often disappear after suppressive treatment. We're left with common symptoms: itchiness, redness, etc.
The best advice I can give you now is to think of those non-skin issues this dog has shown you. They can even be from his past, but they should be recurring symptoms, noticeable, bothersome perhaps, but from some other part of the body.
For example, last year I had a very long running skin case that all my best prescribing barely touched. Not much improvement. Finally, about 3-4 months in, the owner remembered this little gal had very abnormal heats. BOOM, that knowledge sent me looking for remedies that had both itchy skin problems and repro abnormalities (and likely a few other significant symptoms I can't recall), and I found a remedy that started turning the little dog around on her itch.
So, hang in there, but if you hit 6 months without any discernible progress, write me and I'll see I can suggest someone for you.
