Re: shedding...flaky skin..???

sorry I forgot to mention that Pong's attitude hasn't changed....he eats normal....he loves to play outside in the snow even though he's not as fluffy as the past years.... Also, another detail that I'm not sure if it's helpful...this summer, I brought him to the vet to clean his teeth. They had to ...

As his chest is now hairless, I've felt a bump which I wasn't sure if it was just a muscle that I now could feel better due to the lack o...

Yes, Pong is neuteured. We got him fixed a bit over 3 weeks ago. Yesterday and today was cooler....and less humid also.
