Something is biting DD2. It's horrid - her legs are covered in bites, she has two on her face and one on her back and they are nasty and red and driving her mad. But what is biting her???
We have 2 cats and I usually Frontline them every month / 6 weeks but I think I did miss last month as I can't see the tick I usually put on the calendar when I've done it. We got more Frontline over the weekend and did them so they should be good again.
We also went to our local park for the fireworks on 5 Nov and they had mowed the grass to make pathways. So perhaps something nibbled her there - the first bites appeared the Sunday of that weekend.
DD2 is the only one being bitten, the rest of us are absolutely clear. Is it possible that the cats had fleas but they are only biting DD2? The cats don't sleep on her bed, DD1 is around them as much as DD2 and around the sofa etc where the cats do sit. But then DD2 has always had sensitive skin. I'm lathering her in calomine lotion, have vaccuumed her bed and changed the bedding in case that helps.
Any ideas from anyone in the know? I've just spent my whole lunch hour googling "flea bites" and "bed bugs" and any other nasties and have got myself thoroughly worried!!
