      Location: Adopt a homeless pet - www.petfinder.com! | I like the Kinectic Equishield IR spray for my guy that reacts to bug bites. It seems to work best if you rub it in a bit after you spray it on the bites. If it's real bad a dose of steroids from the vet will help knock it out. https://www.amazon.com/Kinetic-Equishield-IR-Spray-Vet/dp/B00BNRB11G Edited to add: They also make a shampoo that helps and lasts awhile after you bath them.
