We have something similar here and it's called "begger lice" (I think). Gage wandered off into the woods surrounding our house a couple months ago and came back covered with them. Took me about half an hour to brush them out (his hair is really thin due to stress he endured before I rescued him). Learned my lesson - gate stays closed now so he only has the back yard to play in. Reason he wandered into the woods? He thought he was a big, bad deer hunter....he was chasing a deer in the woods (5 pounds going after 120 pounds)!! |
