For two weeks now I have been getting these “bites” on my skin. I usually get them while i’m sleeping. They come in clusters of three or four, and they also single out all over my body. (except for in my hair and face) I even have them in my belly button!! I was thinking it could be fleas, but I used to be a groomer, and I didnt find any bites on my dog. My bf lives with me and he has no bites at all. I thought it might be bed bugs, but i switched beds with my bf and he has no bites at all and im still getting them! I had friends spend the weekend at my apt, and none of them have any bites! I haven’t done any thing different, like change soaps or any thing like that. What do you think it is?
Please help! i dont know what to do!
i have been taking allergy medicine to see if that was the problem but they still keep coming!
I just went to the doctor for pink eye not too long ago, so i have no money left to go back again.

My son is about to start school next week and we just got back from our parent teacher meeting. This year there is a child in school that has an allergy to nuts/tree nuts. Therefore all nut products are banned from school. No big deal, we aren’t big peanut butter eaters and my son prefers cream cheese and jelly sandwiches. So it will not be a problem at all. But this part is. The parents of this child are now demanding that we not eat any peanut products or products manufactured in a plant that manufacture nut products. These people are actually telling us how to eat in our own homes. If I want to bake a batch of chocolate chip cookies for an after school snack for my kids, I can’t. If I eat a granola bar before picking up my son from school I have to shower and change clothes. These parents are refusing any type of compromise regarding the peanut products at home.
Now there is another family saying that their child is allergic to milk/wheat, they now want to ban dairy products and wheat products from lunch.
Another parent has a child severely allergic to pet dander from cats/dogs, and want families to now put their children’s school clothing in plastic bags and also put their backpacks in bags as well so their child doesn’t get exposed to pet hair.
What are we supposed to do? I am all for protecting these kids, but is this going too far? I have two children that I am responsible for and now I’m responsible for the health and well being of all of these others. What am I supposed to do? If I send the wrong thing to school I can kill someone, and now I am responsible for that.
Do you think that maybe we should home school our children so that something they eat doesn’t kill someone? What should we do?

I have a 17month old pom and I have to say he is the best dog, we’re working on house training still because when I got him he would have accidents in the house if not watched carefully! Well now that we’ve moved on from that he has this itching issue, we’ve checked him for fleas and he doesn’t have any that we can see or tell! Is there something like a skin allergy that Pomeranians have that I’m unaware of or what? Please if anyone could shed some light, my poor guy itches too much and I want to give him some relief, we brush him regularly and bath him with Flea & Tick shampoo… Any Ideas?

My dog was treated for fleas two weeks ago at the vet. For the past 3-4 days she has been scratching profusely and has caused some sores. She was not scratching like this before the treatment. On Sat I noticed she had a sore on her tail that was bleeding a little and she kept gnawing at it and biting it. I called an emergency vet line and they told me to give her benedryl and neosporin. None of it worked. Does anyone know how much an allergy shot would be on average at a vet?

about three weeks ago we picked my dog up from the kennel. she was there for almost 4 weeks. Well they bathed her but didn’t brush her. about a three or four days later she started scratching. I checked for fleas and no visible signs. I used a topical flea and tick and it seemed to subside. then a week or so ago, as I was petting her I felt scaly scabs on her chest, underside (almost puss), side and top of neck. I don’t see any parasites, do you think it is an allergy to the shampoo they used or could it be bites from other dogs in the kennel? the scabs are in areas she can not reach herself. I can’t get her into the vet until late next week (military vet). any suggestions to make her feel better? BTW, she is eating/going as normal.thank you
