Here's a few oddities we have noticed about our pup.
He's constantly scratching at his ears. We don't know if it's the hair (needs a hair cut) or if he's itchy there. We regularly groom him and use an ear cleaning solution to keep his ear clean. I have not noticed anything on his skin that may indicate fleas or ticks.
His coat is shiny and full of luster all over his body EXCEPT for the area on his backside just above the tail.
One morning as I was letting him out to go potty, the same said area looked really mussed up and dirty compared to the rest of is coat despite not being let out what-so-ever.
We recently used Advantix plus on him (2 wks ago) so I don't think they are fleas.
They are definitely brown and crunchy. Definitely "rice-like." At first we thought he has saw on some brown rice that we feed him on occasion when he's being real picky about his food, but we are positive that it's not rice. |
