tiny red spots

[cheeryplatypus]

my gelding has developed tiny little red dots on his tummy just in front of the sheath, they look like minute droplets of blood as if he has prickled himself, but been there for a week now.
are they a type of mite? (i can't get close enough to scrape them off) my friend thought they may be due to flies biting

any suggestions?

Fly bites.

thanks
hopefully they'll stop now he's on garlic, although he didn't seem that bothered until i started staring at them

it sounds like the midgies have been nibbling on him, i actually coat my boys sheath in Sudocream to keep them at bay

My chap has loads of little holes/bites on his rubbery bits, which i didnt notice until i got the soapy sponge up there yesterday. quick wipe over with a flywipe now should help to keep the pesky things away. grr, if its not muddy legs its bitten nads!

my boys got them too, i put sudocrem on his belly button and round his sheath... nasty flies....

 

[cheeryplatypus]

oh it's his tummy button! always wondered why no hair there!

Ive just heard of something with Neem oil can help. Any ideas what or where i can find some of this, on the high street or online?
