My Maltese as well as my Yorkie used to lick and bite their feet. I also saw some dried up scab like things. I took them to the Vet and he took a scraping and examined it under the microscope. He then showed me the microscopic small Harvest Mites, tiny tiny red mites. It look liked small ticks under the microscope, Really ugly little buggers. He gave me a good dip which took two dippings each before they were gone. I have two very big trees in which doves sleep and according to the Vet, he suspects it comes from them. I also had to throw Sulphere powder under the trees. |
