Could I ask some more Questions please?
Any general health conditions?
Medications?
Any change to medications recently?
Allergies?
Have you had chicken pox, if not, have you been around someone with shingles?

Bedbugs, fleas or scabies would be my guess.

Flea bites don't usually occur together. Scabies is itchier at night and so itchy you want to flay your own skin off.

Is it on both sides of your body or just one?

WaffleDogg20 · 26/08/2024 20:16

Both sides x

I started Mounjaro 3 weeks ago x

Could be bedbugs, i heard how they bite in several places following veins?

MereDintofPandiculation · 26/08/2024 20:22

Could be fleas. Though it’s a lot of bites

WaffleDogg20 · 26/08/2024 20:25

i reckon my dog has caught fleas at the dog daycare! How do I get rid? No one seems to have them :(

You can get flea treatment from the vets.

mmm could be flea bites. My dog has quite a light fur and I could see them on her when I looked carefully.
Two pronged approach to getting rid of fleas - treat the dog and the house. You can get flea treatment from the vet. It will kill fleas on your dog and then any that your dog comes into contact with after treatment. I found Indorex great for treating furnishings (I washed the curtains etc) but you have to take the pets out while it’s working.

Just given her her flea medicine that she gets from the vets. Will order some stuff for the home. What do I do if they are on my bed 😩

Wash the sheets and pillowcases.

I don't know about dog fleas, but cat fleas are easily drowned in a glass of cold water with a drip of washing up liquid to act as a wetting agent, so you shouldn't need a particularly hot wash.
