2 year old foxer. I follow the nutrition chart and do not give, corn, sunflower seeds . He eats his hhb and all kinds of veggies and fruit. He has been pacing during the day and is very anxious. No aggressive Behavior. His thighs are red and fur loss from itching underneath his belly. He looks agitated with his itching but his body fur looks ok just thinner. No fleas and I just don't see how he could get mites because he has been in my care since about 2 weeks of age. I spend time with him every day and know him very well. He is not as content as he has always been since October 1st. My guess is he is having a seasonal disturbance . My new concern is his sudden itching. feedback would bring appreciated, thanks

Mites can be brought inside from anyone or anything that comes in from outside.
Easy to treat and eliminate the possibility with a drop or two of revolution between the shoulders.
How old is this baby, can you post a picture?

Yep, sounds like a case of the MITES........ wash him with blue Dawn soap while you
wait to get some kitten Revolution, then treat as stated above. *Good Luck.
