| Biting Legs & Tail Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone had any advice for the following; My puppy Jack lost his littermate about 2 weeks ago (our beloved Bentley RIP), he was on meeds for upper respiratory infection, and parasite meds for coccidia and giardia. He also had a bad case of earmites. He had a short stay in the Vet's hospital where he had a catheter and underwent treatments in an incubator. He is still taking Baytril and ClindaCure VEDCO (the vet never explained why he was on this med) From time to time he bites at his front legs and even his back ones and his tail. Is this a nervous habit? He does not have fleas. I am in the midst of trying to find a new vet in my area. dunnyyorkie |

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | I don't think this is a nervous habit, esp. since he had mites. There is a good chance he also has mites elsewhere and he should probably be checked for it before they spread...mites can be tough, but you can def. get rid of them. So sorry your little fella has had such trouble .

| He may be itching from either mites or from a reaction to the medicines. You probably need to call the vet and check with them. By the way, Baytril and Clindacure are both antibiotics. Since your little guy was so sick the vet probably decided that he needed 2 different antibiotics to cover all the possible bugs making him sick.
