| Itchy leg Howie has been chasing his one hind leg in a circle biting it for a few days now. At first I thought he was just bored and looking for something to chew on, but he keeps doing it!!! I tried putting baby powder on him yesterday but it didn't help. Any idea what it could be from??

| Could just be a mosquito bite or something like that. When Muffin would get a place like that, I would just give it a spray of some hydrocortisone spray and she would leave it alone then.

| I would think it was fleas. Look for fleas or flea dirt. They look like brown specks of dirt, but if you put some on a white paper and add a little water they will turn pink because they are really dried blood. If you see evidence of fleas, giving him a bath with Dawn dishwashing liquid will drown the fleas that are on him right now. Stay away from the flea shampoos a lot of dogs have reaction to them and they are very drying to the skin (which fleas love by the way). Then buy a flea collar, cut it up and put it in your vaccuum and then start vacuuming every day to pick up the eggs. You can spritz him with a mixture made of one ounce water, 1 drop tea tree oil, 1 drop lemon grass oil, one drop citronella to keep them off of him until you get the house cleared. |
