| Corn on cob anyone??? Does anyone's baby munch on their legs like corn on the cob?? I have sifted through her fur, and found nothing. No bites, no fleas, nothing. Besides she's on advantage flea protection (I'm switching to Frontline in 2 months after my supply is done). She doesn't do it too often, but I see her do it occasionally during the day. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

| It could be allergies, to food or to shampoo. Bronx kept scratching his ears, and one day as I was brushing him, I found I had left shampoo in his hair behind his ears. Maybe try rinsing better. Also they do make an anti-itch cream or spray you can get at groc. store or petsmart. What are you feeding them, and what kind of shampoo do you use????

| I feed her Innova (among the best) and her shampoo is the same as before, Pet Salon Pro. This corn on cob thing just recently started happening.

| I bathe mine in the tub, and the shampoo sometimes floats around their legs as I am trying to get everyone out and dry. It might could be those little biting things in the grass. Maybe try the anti itch spray. I got like a deoderant stick looking kind (it was on clearance), they hate the taste of it, so it deter's the biting. It smell's sorta like mens deoderant.

| Mine does that...but, it could be that he goes outside alot and he gets bug bites...that or it could be that he is getting over a bacterial infection that caused lumps all over his body and i think they itched him...anyway, how ironic you just posted this, bux was just doing this!!!! |

| Good luck! There is nothing that will drive me crazy like a scratching dog.

| Bunny does the same thing sometimes. She always has well before I took her outside in any grass. I think she's just a puppy and they do weird things like this! She will just lay there and chew on her back paw. I think she's just too lazy to get up and get a Nylabone! I know it isnt bites or an allergy to something bc like I said she did this from the start. She isnt on topical flea med bc I used the Sentinel. And she doesnt scratch at all just chews her back foot!
