Thanks. The bite on my stomach is from a spider because they're in a slight pattern, like he was trapped. A neighbor looked at it. (nurse)
I get little dots that itch from time to time and they go away. I am allergic to dogs and cats. Duh, but I get better after time. I know he has allergies now also. I have been giving him benadryl, small amount, twice a day and he has stopped scratching and over weeping has stopped.
I am going to change vets after his shots are finished. I should have been more adamant with the vet about the fleas. I knew he didn't have any and the Advantage only made his skin worse. Someone suggested using Comfortis during flea season or when he gets them. It's gentler on their skin.
Thank you!!! for your concern.

He goes for his shots Thursday and I do not want antibiotics unless there is a proven reason to use them. They can cause more problems than what they help. I am waiting for a reply from a holistic vet about this.
