| bugs? Hi all I'm new here. Wondering if anyone can help. My yorkie "Rocky" is 6months old and we recently noticed possible bugs near his butt. We've used special shampoo and also got him groomed, cut his hair shorter. After doing so, it seemed to work. But now he is back to biting and scratching around that area. We caught a couple bugs, real tiny. Not sure why they're still around, where they're coming from, etc. What is best to do with this issue? Thanks in advance! |

| it sounds like you have fleas? Are you using something like "revolution" or "front line" on him? You may need to go to a vet and review your parasites prevention plan. Also , what are you using for heartworm prevention? i hope that is a simple fix . XOXO

| Thanks for the reply... I am using front line and don't think we've jumped on the heartworm prevention. There's a pill right? |

| Usually if your puppy already is on front line it is old enough to be on the heartworm preventative that also has regular de-wormer in it ... I also tought that could possible be worms. Have you figured it out yet ? XOXO
