but then we let him play in his pool and it got itchy or something. So we are treating it with Gentacalm spray and may have the vet look at it next week to see if it needs an antibiotic. It it gets a bump that is when it needs it. So far it is staying smooth with just a bit of hair loss. He hates it when we put his donut, and also his muzzle on him. We can just lay them beside him and he will leave it alone but at night he goes after it. I haven't figured out what to do about that yet. I have gotten up when I hear him licking. Last night I put his donut on him. He ran into the vertical blinds with it and knocked one off. Arrrgh. This dog is not for sissies! We still have the black rabbit hanging around that some kids let loose last fall. Yesterday he pulled me down after it. I was ready to brain him!
