A vet can check him for anemia from the fleas. It is so great to see when a baby who was not in a good home finally gets to a home full of love and attention.
If you look at my avaitar you will see that one of mine also has floppy ears. If I shave them then they go up about half the time. But she is adorable and I love her no matter what position her ears are in.
Best wishes for a quick transition! |
I agree. And why would he have hair on his head if he had gotten into poison ivy. (I didn't know dogs could get that!) When I got my Gracie she was nearly bald from her shoulders down due to a flea allergy. She had pulled or scratched most of her hair out. What hair was left was dry and brittle. I got her on a good diet, allergy pills and clothing to keep her from scratching and biting till the effects of the fleas were gone. My Skeeter has a tail too and it is really neat to see it wagging when he is happy. Good luck with your adorable baby and welcome to YT!
