| Does he rub his eye area? It can be a sign of demodex mange...the vet can do a simple skin scrap if it continues..best wishes |

| Yep mange is what I was going to say too. My Chachi had it. They just do a skin scrape to check for it

| If the skin is slightly pinkish looking, it more than likely is mange. Good luck.
