The first time he fell in the pond, he was about 8 - 9 weeks old. I should have given him a bath but it was cold and all I could think of was getting him dry and warm. He was in the pond for maybe 5 seconds (my husband was right with him) but he was scared and cold. A few days later, his ears were red and itchy along with a spot on his side that he itched so I took him to the Vet's. She gave him some bacterial shampoo and drops for his ears. It cleared up right away. The second time he fell in the pond, I gave him a bath with the shampoo and he was fine. Now he stays away from the pond. He usually itches more when the grass is wet and it has been raining. I gave him another bath yesterday and he hasn't itched since I have been home tonight. He doesn't itch all the time, just sometimes so there must be something that is causing him to itch. I am thinking if it was the detergent, he would itch at night in bed and he doesn't seem too. His skin is a normal color with no rash, etc and his fur is soft. Just itches sometimes. I have started giving him the pupperoni treats too.
