After a flea problem my dog nibbles on my arm all the time whats going on what is he telling me .?
If he is chewing on your arm, it is a sign of affection. He is cleaning your fur.
I tend to discourage this from my dane as it bruises my skin.
Reply:it is most likely a "hot spot"...my dog had one once and they can get pretty serious so you should definately have him looked at.
Reply:He is telling you that Timmy has fallen down the well and wants you to bring help.
Reply:He's helping you take care of your own fleas, in his own way. My dogs don't have fleas, but one of the chihuahua mixes thinks she's everyone's mom, and constantly "fleas" the other dogs.
She fleas me, too, up and down my arm. The occasional nip, too, but it's not lethal, just love, chihuahua style. She also makes shrill noises while she does this. Weird, but being normal isn't a requirement around here.
As for the back scratching, they all love to do that. Heck, I love to do that. It doesn't indicate a problem unless they have ongoing redness and the fur falls out.
