    you can put some essential oils on him when you go out for a walk - there are some brands with special anti-tick-mosquito mixes available.

    Buddy does the same. Sometimes he'll just turn in the middle of crossing the street on a walk and do the jump up play biting. He stopped doing it for a while but has started up recently doing it on occasion. It's a puppy thing that is disappearing. He was really bad with doing that at the obedience classes while I was trying to get him to heal. When I walk around the house he'll come up behind me and bite my pants and put his foot around the front of my shoe to try and stop me.

    Mine have always recovered really quick I flush the bite wound if it´s a deeper one with saline or klorhexidine using a syringe twice a day if necessary.Sometimes i´ve put on an aloevera ointment or a special scar preventing cream when scab has been formed.

    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.

    @lmillermmms: we dont have any red ants in the area that we chain her up in. but there are some around my garden which is way in the back yard. but i do take her to this pond in my neighborhood where there are lots of bugs I would take her to the Vet… these will not go away by themselves
