| Bug bites Is it normal for them to get a few bug bites on their belly? I know just like humans they can get bit up but hes only outside to potty and go for a walk most days, and i noticed he had two red bug bite looking things on his belly the other day and one went away and he keeps liking the one and now its got a scab on it. I was just curious if this is a normal issue. our lab has allergys so she gets red splotches on her belly so she takes benadryl as the vet told us to give her so im reallly kind of just wondering if it couldnot be allergys too. And also gizmo wouldnt eat his food today is it normal for them to skip a meal sometimes? But hed eat a treat so i broke up a treat and put it in his food and he ate some of his food that way but ill be watching him today to make sure hes alright.

He does have some environmental allergies and the vet said I could give him 1/2 a Benadryl, twice a day... He is about 8 pounds. I haven't had to give him any in a while. Not sure about the not eating. Riley doesn't have a problem eating. I feed him Primal raw in the mornings and kibble at night....although lately I have been doing the Primal raw morning and night. | |

| I do know that they can get Chigger bites. I ended up taking Rosie to the vet to find out it is Chiggers. Benedryl is the recommendation and if that don't do it they will give her a shot. Mine also only go out to potty. But it don't take long for a bug to get hold of them!

| thanks guys the chiggers makes sense hes been venturing more into the grass i usually just have him potty in the rocks in the driveway, its starting to look better but with him licking it i know it can get worse our lab had really bad allergys and she kept licking them and they became really bad scabs so we just have to keep up on her benadryl
