ryballnben 22 Posted October 9, 2011 Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 Might be some sort of mite/flea problem mate? Quote Link to post
stroller 341 Posted October 9, 2011 Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 definately sounds like a flea allergy, maybe even mange (Quite rare).whats he bedded on ? gut the hutch and scrub it out and then de flea it all and him. my lot dont seem to get flea trouble but i have seen it before. Failing that its the vets and then your into money and how much do you value the old lad. Vets are the biggest bandits in the country even with insurance i wouldnt like to think of the hundreds of pounds ive paid out for the dogs but hey thats stock keeping for you. Quote Link to post
Rake aboot 4,936 Posted October 9, 2011 Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 Strip out and clean (disinfect) his hutch and bed, get a bit frontline on him, and see if that works, sounds like a mite! Quote Link to post
