kent Posted July 4, 2011 Report Share Posted July 4, 2011 check carefully for ticks etc then use some frontline or the likes anyway to clear any vermin, if its in the house unfortunatly you might have to consider further measures. it realy sounds like fleas to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arwen3513 Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 some dogs are allergic to the saliva of flea bites, and it causes the dog to bite at its self, in some cases to the extent that the area becomes bald and sore, as well as the dog treat all places the dog lies, beds, carpets, car etc this treatment often last upto 6 months and prevents larvea developing. really worth doing it regularly in this weather and where dogs are mixing at class /comps, and hunting in game areas it only takes 1 or 2 jan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
