otiboy Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Our 8 month old English Staffy pup, Jazz, is getting bitten by flies on her ears. We have been using BUZZ OFF which seems to work. Is there any other solution? and is this a common thing with English Staffies?. Cheers Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pom Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 I'm not sure if it's common with Staffies but my Dogue de bordeaux had the same problem. I used Filta-bac, a sunfilter and antibacterial cream on his ears which cleared the bites up in a few days and a fly repelent to keep them away.

pare Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 my vets prescribe arrest easy dose !! an application on top of the head lasts for 3-4 weeks. I've used Troy fly repellant for years and they always do the trick. good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
millie Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Vet advised us to use "swift", it's a repellant for horses and he said it will last six weeks. It is only at certain times of the year a particular type of fly causes this problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malisa1 Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Hi years ago when we had our rottweilers we used a purple spray for horses and it helped but then it was discontinued. We used to also coat area in Vaseline so they could not bite. But the best thing we ever did was buy a bug zapper and used to have it on 24/7 and no more bites don't know if coincidence but no more bites ever again This worked for years until they both passed away (pts) due to very aggressive bone cancer Our Akita's do not have this fly problem thank goodness !

mel and chev Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 my shar pei has the same problem and i use troy fly repella as well. It works a treat. I put troy on her ears every morning before work and spray her with troy repel-x. Seems to last until i get home. She hasn't had her ears attacked for a while now. The flies are really bad here at the moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
