jac 12 Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 sounds like Sarcoptic mange. http://www.marvistavet.com/html/body_sarcoptic_mange.html get him to a vet for treatment. if you want to give a milk substitute try Lactol. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...e=WDVW&rd=1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
poacher3161 1,766 Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 Cut the milk out and just feed him a good brand of puppy food supplemented with raw beef bones.Then bath him in a medicated shampoo for dogs.It sounds like a reaction from either the fleas or the milk.atb dell Quote Link to post Share on other sites
