just wondering if there are any other causes for itching... i've checked tobey again and again with a fine tooth comb (literally) and i've found nothing in his fur whatsoever... but he has been scratching around his head and neck area (not constantly or anything) a little more often than is normal.

he did have a bit of dermatitis under his chin a while ago, but that seems to have cleared up.. not sure if that has anything to do with it?

any ideas?

he's going for his myxi booster this month so i will ask then, but just wondered if there was any ideas on here too.

thanks!
 
Mites are probably a bit too small to catch with a comb. What does his skin look like? Does he have dandruff?

Most likely cause would be mites which clears up nicely with ivermectin (see vet).

i didn't mean i tried to catch them with a comb kind a thing.. i mean i examined with the help of a comb hehe :D that's why i'm confused, he has no dandruff, no dirtiness in his ears, no black specs, nothing at all.. but i will get the vet to check him over. thanks :D

his skin just looks pink!

deborah yes he does have that bouffant still :lol: some of it has thinned out as he's got older but he has this one very long bit on top of his head that always sticks up, it's really cute, and his cheeks are still very fluffy :D
