If you don't see any bugs such as fleas and ticks I don't know if like I said before it might be dry skin. Did you change shampoos? How often are you bathing? Are you using a conditioner? Do you see a rash? Maybe he just has an itch. I get itchy and I don't have fleas. HEE HEE Just kidding. I don't know. It could be alot of things. By the way fleas are very small. Tiny in fact you can see them though. Smaller than a grain of rice. They are reddish brown in color. I guarantee if your dog has fleas you will know it because they like to bite people too. Ticks look like spiders they have a round body with small legs I don't know how many.They bury their mouth into the flesh. If your dog has tick you probably won't see it moving around. it will be stuck to your dog.They look similar to a brown raised mole when attached. There that is your daily dose of parasite discribtions. I hope it helps. |
Tee hee..ya maybe they itch like human eventhough we have no fleas on us. I bath him weekly but since I do not bring him out as much now, I would probably cut down on that. I brought him to the groomer yesterday. They did use a different shampoo. There is no rash on him. His skin looks clear and nice. I didn't know that ticks bite people
?!!! I thought they only bite dogs
For now, I think he is okay but I probably will check him again and again just to make sure. I am freaking out!
