Title: Any ideas?
Post by: PollySpaull on September 14, 2017, 09:16:46 AM
Hi all,

Just noticed these on Ernest's tummy and inner thighs. Just wondering if anyone has any ideas? He doesn't seem bothered by them at all, and we only noticed them as Monty was cleaning him!
They look like little yellow pus filled spots? Thanks x

Not sure but could be something in the grass that is biting him (if he walks thro grass that is) Think there's something called a harvest mite about this time of year, could they be biting him?

Maybe time for a vet visit just to check

Hope they disappear soon

Definitely possible that it's something in the grass, he likes to lay completely flat when out on walks so his skin comes into contact with all sorts! Will keep an eye on it for today and if it's no better tomorrow will call vets I think.
Could be Harvest mites... will have a look into it. Thanks very much x
