My dog Clover was in tall grass and has multiple bug bites and has scratched herself until her skin has become very raw in places. Is there something you can recommmend to put on her skin to relieve her irritated skin?

Unfortunately, raw skin is prone to infection. She will most likely need to see a veterinarian. Otherwise keep the area dry and keep her from scratching and licking it. You may need to get an e-collar from your vet or pet store.
