I took my boys out on a day trip to the in-law's place. It's near a creek so once it really started cooling off, the mosquitoes came out in full force.
Ozzy seems to be bite free but Mogli really seems to be suffering. He just finished itching at the same place for close to five minutes with no relief. If there's anything I can do to help him (and myself for that matter, those bugs really liked me), I want to do it ASAP.
EDIT:I forgot to mention, I already checked both of them thoroughly with a flea comb for fleas and ticks. They've been flea treated so I wasn't too worried about that in any case. There was some poison ivy but I'm sure I was able to keep them away from it since I'm not showing any signs and they would have passed it on to me.

You can try some aloe on the bites or baking soda might also help. You can also do an oatmeal bath if they're really itchy. You don't have to worry about your furbrats in the poison ivy...animals are usually not affected, now you are a different story Good luck ciao
