Dog rubbing his face and losing whiskers
In the past three days, I have found two whiskers, one on the floor and the other one on our couch. My pug (3yo male neutered) rubbed his face on the couch and a whisker fell out. Do you think he might have a face infection or something or is it normal to lose whiskers. He also sometimes will sit and just lick repeatedly. Just lick the air. Maybe he is trying to lick his face because of an infection? |

Dog with fleas
Last night my 7yo female neutered maltese was scatching a little & I noticed that the day before she did a little too. I rolled her over to look through her and found a flea...then 2 more a little bit later. I immediately ran to the store and bought Sergeants flea control that you put on their back between the shoulder blades & put that on her immediatedly. I washed all of her bedding & have vaccumed the house at least 3 times since. We have a huge 2 level house and the dog is 99.9% of the time on our main level in our living room & dining room. I found only 2 today...and that was early this morning...I have not seen any since...but am scared to death of how many fleas are in our house that I cannot see. I am afraid they are crawling everywhere & don't know where to start. The dog sometimes goes upstairs in our bedrooms.....I am afraid these pests could be in closets & etc....any advice would be greatly appreciated! - Click
