It seems that he gets this every summer.  At first I thought it was because Tokyo was so polluted but now we're here in the states and it's not as polluted here as there.
Laura B. I hope your baby doesn't have ring worm!! If your kids use an antibacterial soap they should be fine. I'm pretty sure ring worm is caused by the same bacteria which causes athelete's foot. |
if only happens in summer then my concern would be staph infection from itching-- does your dog itch alot in spring and summer from allergies? Bathing often is important in dogs with skin issues to keep the bacteria down on the skin
