| i dont really know any advice to give. Toa's skin looks pink under his white fur. The places where the mange got bad lose hair and are very itchy. Does he seem to be itchy? hmmm...im not sure, you may want to take him to the vet for them to just look...will they charge you an exam fee? LOL |

| Has he been outside in like tall grass? Sometimes grass blade will irratate, or maybe bites? Just looks a little irratated not so much like a reaction. Most likely if its just in that one spot. Keep an eye on it and if hair starts to fall out or if he can't stop itching or if it spreads then take em to the vets. Good luck and as always keep us posted. |

| If he's been outside much in the hot sun, he may have gotten sunburned. I wouldn't think it would have caused irritation on his neck though. I'd take him in when you take the pups in to be checked, just to be on the safe side. |

I love how you love Baily! Murphy's skin is kinda pink too... unless you see a rash or the dog is scratching/itching, I'd say let it be and keep an eye on it. |

maybe the pups are picking on poor ol' dad...my ratties always grab the loose skin on the dobies neck when they want to play with her...little rascals.  
if Bailey doesn't seem worried about it (itching), then it's probably nothing, just keep an eye on it |

you know I havent thought about the pups playing with him and grabbing his neck....but boy do they play ruff so maybe thats what it is. Oh well he doesnt seem to act different or scratch at it. I am just over concerned with him  Thanks |
