neil cooney 10,416 Posted April 2, 2015 Report Share Posted April 2, 2015 I'm very surprised a vet said boredom as most vets would have put your dog on a very expensive course of medication. So maybe your vet is an honest one but IMO it's not boredom. It could be a few things and I've noticed signs of fleas early this year (I've also noticed slugs out early this year too, so be careful of lungworm) but it could be mites or something in the blood. But I wouldn't say it's boredom, most dogs would chew their kennels before they'd chew themselves out of boredom. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

leo1 134 Posted April 2, 2015 Report Share Posted April 2, 2015 Ivermec ok if your dogs have no collie blood in the make up, not sure the right reason behind it but wouldn't take the risk. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MoChara 1,632 Posted April 3, 2015 Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 Yes be very careful with ivermec. I don't know what it could be I would doubt mange would first appear where them dogs have signs. But any things possible I'm sure. Could be a random flea/insect bite that's irritating the life out of them. Have they got any itchy, red or scaley areas near eyes or on face TB? If you figure it out give us an update Quote Link to post Share on other sites
