Itchy Dog - Insect Bites?


 Share

Recommended Posts

James has been insanely itchy over the past week. I assume he's being bitten by midges or sandflies or whatever it is those tiny black flying things are called, as his itchiness coincides with the fact that I too am being bitten to death - anytime we leave the house we both come back scratching. I can see a couple of raised red lumps on the leg he keeps trying to chew off, and I assume I'll find another under his arm that seems to be his new itchy spot.

Is there anything I can put on him to ease the itchiness? Specifically his leg as he's going to be ingesting anything put on that - I think I read that aloe vera shouldn't be eaten?

you may consider spraying his legs with a couple of short bursts of aerogard before going out .... Last year all our dogs/pups got this treatment because of swarms of mozzies....

depending on what flea/tick stuff he is on ... a light mist of permoxin daily may also be a big help .

Ask your vet about antihistamines, too :)
