He's been scratching a BIT more than normal, but not obsessively or anything. I attributed it to the antibiotics (like I said, he had tiny red bumps near his private area that went away two days after antibiotics stopped). He's also been on a new food, but I didn't think that was the cause. He's on his second bag. I thought environmental would be more likely. It has been unusually warm here for the time of year (65-70 every day for the past four-five days) and my head has been a bit stuffy and eyes a bit itchy. Though he's never seemed to have suffered from allergies in the past....
Just checked him all over and don't see any fleas or anything. His hair is really short right now too and I combed using my fingers upwards, so the opposite way the hair grows, and I couldn't find anything. Maybe I'll just try giving him a regular bath tonight and see if it helps anything. The vet also combed upward near his back end three weeks ago at his yearly (and this was after that Dachshund was here) and did not find anything.
So who knows, lol. Maybe he just had an itchy bum. Or maybe it IS still irritated from the groomers. |
