Moll. 1,793 Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 You cannot always see fleas Patrick. Plus there are other smaller mites which cause irritation for dogs like rabbit fur mites (Walking dandruff). Is she due her flea treatment? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chook1 184 Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 Is it bothering her or affecting her ? has the area grown? If no to these - then i wouldnt worry about it, just keep an eye on it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Moll. 1,793 Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 Def looks and sounds like fleas, this seems to be about the time they are at their worst. I never see fleas on my dogs, but i know when they have them, fleas love a good suck on..................ME! If she is due a wormer do it at the same time, fleas+ worms usually go hand in hand.

fcuktheban 140 Posted September 1, 2011 Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 Could be an allergy, usually fleas affect areas that are warmer and concealed like under arms and around the neck. Maybe a food allergy? skycat is very good at figuring it out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
