Answer 1

You don't know if they are bites.

If he gets it every summer , i bet it's an allergic reaction.

I get a rash like that every summer too.

It's called an allergic reaction .

I'm allergic to tomatoes but I love them.

Have him show the rash to your Mom and don't mention fleas.

You've been doing a good job of looking after any possible fleas.

She will take him to the Dr.

and then we will know if there is something to worry about. Smile.

Answer 2

when your puppies have fleas, the vet should have told you how to disinfect/clean everywhere the puppies have been because the fleas are there too (in your rooms, bedding, rugs, the backyard, etc..)

i don't know what the spray stuff is, but you should have gotten a treatment from the vet that just puts some liquid on the back of the dog's neck and lasts 30 days.

spray things over the counter are full of pesticides..not healthy for you or the dogs to breathe.

it does sound like your little brother has flea bites.

please get your puppies flea free too since they can easily die of anemia since they're so small.

you can get cheap vet care at your local ASPCA...they'll even give you free care depending on your financial needs.

your puppies need routine vaccines too. it will be more expensive to treat them when they get sick, than it is to pay for preventative care.
