[QUOTE="Star*, post: 167886, member: 4964"] Mutt - Call a different vet. Our vet sold us some stuff for the blood s-ucking variety of flies that prey on dogs ear tips - and it was NOT expensive and it worked for a while 3-4 days before you had to apply more. Also at most feed stores you can find FLY BAG traps - You need about 3 for a back yard - and you hang them up and flies go in and die - the entire thing is gross - but considering them biting my dog I'd put a paper sack over the bag. Avon sells some stuff called skin so soft - that we used to use for flies on horses (not bots) but the biting ones and in the summer I always wiped it on the screen of the door to keep the flies away and on the screened awning when we went camping - flies HATE it and you dilute it so you save money. You could mix some up in a bottle and spray it over his body - for comfort and then get the salve for blood skucking flies from the vet. Poor baby - Maybe for $10+ you can get some hose sprayer attachment stuff and spray his area, bed, house etc. [/QUOTE]
