    This is from my friend who's dog as "fly biting" episodes. This is what she said: "Have then pull a full thyroid panel on their pup usually a low thyroid is part of the problem as well as Fly Biting is gastrointestinal based seizures." If you are on Facebook, I can give you her name. Just drop me a line privately and I can give you her name. I didn't want to post it publicly. Not sure if that is allowed. She has much first hand knowledge of fly biting with her dog and can probably give you some pointers.

    Because by then they should be hormonally mature even if not fully structurally mature. I don't read much research - I follow experience ! Ideally, not at all, but if they MUST be spayed, then let them grow up first.

    @cahootz I have made my own in the past.... there used to be pictured on the old Forum, I can't find them now. I got a stair tread (hard rubber) and cut it to fit from just behind the ears to the point of the chest. Wrapped it in a towel, duck tape it all up. Wrap around the neck and secure with Vet Wrap. Worked great, also I would put Tea Tree Oil around the stitches (not on).....

    You know, I have been concerned about the exact same bumps the last couple days. Riley has less hair than Zip on the tips of his ears on the inside so he has more of them than her, more that I can feel anyway. He has like 5 or 6 in each ear. The two of them spend alot of time outside in the yard so based on my research I thought that they could be fly bites. Zip never got them when we were in an apt. The dogs are probably outside about half of the time. When I was picking them over and noticed how many Riley has and started researching I smeared some tea tree oil triple antibiotic ointment on the tips of their ears. I need to look into it some more but I think I read something about a repellent gel you can put on their ears…I would much appreciate anyone else's ideas on what they could be and steps to avoid them. And Jylly18, you read my mind! Edit: If they are fly bites perhaps this Flys Off stuff will help: http://www.petsmart.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2755059 I'll keep "googling"…

    Instead of incurring a costly vet bill could you see if there's a vet school in or near your area? I know they would be happy to help. Just a thought.
