    Sores?

    I was grooming Mickey tonight and noticed this on the outside of his leg.. anyone have any idea what it's from? It's really raw.. I haven't seen him going after it like it's irritating it, but it must be hurting a bit somehow.

    Could it be fleas and an allergic scratching. Bubba never had any problem with that until I took in my brothers cat when he died, the cat had fleas and bubba got a bunch of sores from scratching at them.
    don't breed or buy while shelter dogs die....

    I have been frosted!

    Ahh, a calluse. Poor Mickey! Maybe I'll go out and buy a couple cheap beds for him to lay on for different rooms.

    Mickey's elbows are furry too.. except this one all of a sudden. O_o

    I don't think it's fleas, Mickey is a scratchy dog, but very flealess! lol
