Does he have the odd flea, Patch has been going mad & trying to scratch around the base of his tail & licking his ball sac, when I looked & he had a couple of fleas in the fur of his ball sac, (Patch was desexed at 4 yrs old, so his skin is a bit lose where his balls once were) he must of picked up fleas on our walks, we’ve had alot of rain & humid weather, prefect for fleas…I killed the fleas & put some Cortisone 1 % cream around the base of tail & ball sac & this relieved his itch also get a good shampoo… I use “Malaseb” medicated shampoo, this is excellent kills any bacteria on their skin but doesn’t strip the oils in their skin, leaving him feeling so soft & itch free…
