Re: Skin problem


Alexa - have you treated your house with flea spray? Fleas can live in soft furnishings, carpets, rugs and even floorboards. It could be that they are still getting to Roo even though he shows no signs of flea infestation himself.

I hope he gets better soon - a fella as cute as him shouldn't have bald patches

If it is a flea allergy he muct be super sensitive and I dont know how I can stop him getting bitten.

Has you vet taken any skin scrapings? Might be worth another trip to the vet? Do let us know how he goes

Re: Skin problem


Went off to the new vet tonight who was much better than the previous ones. I have faith that they will get to the bottom of this buit it will just take time.

The whole house has been treated for fleas and so have all the other animals, Roo is just undergoing his bath in antibacterial shampoo bless him. He has to have it left on for 10 mins so thought I would update inbetween.

Again he has had sterois injections to stop the scratching and anti biotics to clear his skin up. My poor baby.
