Boston Always Licking his Beans
My Boston Terrier Bullet is always licking his skin and beans. I have tried several different shampoos and conditioners and nothing seems to help....any suggestions? I know it's a compulsive behavior but his skin gets really red and bumpy.....Thanks!

Other thing you can do is change food to a minimal ingredient food. If there's seasons where it's worse, think about environmental allergies (pollen in summer, dust-dry air in winter if you have one). buglady take out the dog before replying |

Vet check to be certain he doesn't have a low-grade infection of the
testicals, or a tumor. Handling them gently.... do both testicals feel the same? Allergy to something in carpets or bedding (laundry detergent?)? Have you considered neutering? Jo Wolf Martinez, Georgia, USA |
