There were fleas in our house about 3 weeks ago, or more and we treated all the animals with bath products and the liquid on the back of their necks. I also changed food recently. Today I noticed my yorkie was scratching her back alot, when i looked I noticed red blotchy spots on her lower back near her bottom. And my other dog has 2 on the under side of her chin.. They dont seem to be scratching like there are fleas on them,, The yorkie only seems to be scratching at the one spot on her bottom.. And my other dog is not scratching at all... What do you think it could be? Thanks

Hi
It is likely you still have some fleas in your house, the typical place for dogs to get bitten is on their backs near their bottom.
You need to spray your house with an insecticidal environmental flea spray, after all, most fleas live in the environment and not on the animals anyway.
Good luck
