Treating Insect Bites?

[jr_inoz]

my girl has a couple of insect bites on her at the moment - I suspect mosquito bites as there are a few around at the moment. I live in a tick free area. Pretty sure they aren't spider bites.

She normally has a thick coat which stops insect getting through to the skin and biting her (that and they normally go for me first). At the moment she has dropped all her coat and so a mozzie would have easier access to her skin.

Does anyone have any experience with how to treat them? She is licking them a lot.

Any products I can use?

Calamine lotion applied to the bites should help releive the itchies. and Advantix monthly to repell mozzies flies biting insects ect and kills if they bite your dog.

Hope this helps
