Hi Guys,
Sonny is now ten weeks old! He has settled in so well, loves his crate and sleeps like a dream! Completely toilet trained after a week and a happy puppy all in all! HOWEVER...
he is non stop scratching. I spoke to the others that had the rest of the litter and one said she had found a flea and had a tablet for her pup. I got a tablet from the vets and gave him to him with no problems. That was last week and he is still scratching so much and gnawing at his paws and legs. He hasn’t been out yet as he won’t be fully vaccinated until 10th October so I doubt he’s got any kind of parasite on his feet or fur. Any suggestions or treatments? I thought about giving him a bath to give his fur a good clean?
Any thoughts?
Thanks

You really need to speak to the vet - they may want to do a skin scrape to see if they can detect mites or other causes.

Totally agree with JudyN. (again! LOL)
