kpcv_ Posted April 2, 2017 Report Share Posted April 2, 2017 My boyfriend took her to the park the yesterday and brought her home today . I guess a flea bit her and now she has a yellow bubble in the center of the red spot . I gave her a bath with a shampoo por fleas and ticks and I checked her and didn't find any . Here is a picture of her bite or whatever it caused it K A R I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelseafan Posted April 2, 2017 Report Share Posted April 2, 2017 It could be hypersensitivity to the flea saliva, prob trip to the vets or she could damage it more with scratching. Looks nasty.Sent from my iPhone using Husky Owners mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chelseafan Posted April 2, 2017 Report Share Posted April 2, 2017 An extra thought, I've heard Apple cider vinegar for dogs can help bathing the flea bitten skin if you're into natural remedies.Sent from my iPhone using Husky Owners mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emma Posted April 2, 2017 Report Share Posted April 2, 2017 Is she up to date with her flea treatment? I've just had to switch brands as for the first time in years we found fleas on Bear. Also went nuts with treatments for the house and home. One of my friends ended up ripping out all the carpets in her house as she couldn't get rid of them. Thankfully (touch wood) we haven't had to go to those extremes and everything's gone back to normal. I'm still checking them all out regularly though, just incase.

Jo Posted April 2, 2017 Report Share Posted April 2, 2017 We use confortis, its tablet rather than drops on back of neck, vets are recommending once a month rather than 3 months now Sent from my iPhone using Husky Owners mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petertmartin Posted April 3, 2017 Report Share Posted April 3, 2017 Ours scratches all the time and I used to be paranoid now I just think she is itchy from dust or sand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpcv_ Posted April 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2017 Guys, it's gotten worse ! I can't find any fleas !!! What should I doo ? Is this normal?!K A R I Btw , her flea bite doesn't have the bubble no more . It just looks like a normal bite . Can this be an allergic reaction ?

chelseafan Posted April 3, 2017 Report Share Posted April 3, 2017 If it was a flea bite then she could have had an allergic reaction which can trigger intense itching, hair loss and skin infections, she needs to see the vet as if left can get nasty. Hope she'll be ok.Sent from my iPhone using Husky Owners mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emma Posted April 3, 2017 Report Share Posted April 3, 2017 She has a lot of red marks and a dark discolouration on her inside thigh too. Are you sure they're all flea bites? It could be she's allergic to flea bites but in all honesty I'd take her to the vets to get that checked out. I wouldn't be too worried if it was just one red mark that is healing up but that's quite a lot of them. Possibly a rash? Maybe even infantile acne? Could be anything, so best getting it checked in my opinion. Sent from my iPhone using Husky Owners mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Shiloh Posted April 5, 2017 Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 You should go to the vet because fleas will cause tape worms also. Please keep us informed. All will be ok:)Sent from my SM-N920T using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpcv_ Posted April 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 Ok so I didn't take her to the vet because after I went to the river her stomach cleared up like ahe didn't get any in the first place .. it's wierd but they say the river I went to helps with skin and lots of other things . I guess since she was in the water it healed whatever she had .. K A R I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulPay Posted December 2, 2020 Report Share Posted December 2, 2020 Looks my dog is not the only one who confronted the problem with these bugs. He started feeling bad and after I took him to the veterinary I discovered the problem. While my dog was treating I discovered a big nest of I don't know what type of insects. It was in the basement. I called my dad and he advised me to use https://www.growgardener.com/best-flea-fogger/. He told me that must help. I ordered It and the next day I tried it. After one day all insects were exterminated. I'm very pleased with the effect. My dog is healthy and my house is clean from these bugs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
