Crawling
Hi,
My best boy Nero (15 weeks) has suddenly started to commando crawl everywhere, is this normal Staffy behaviour ?

Re: Crawling
Katy commando crawls occasionally but not all the time! Does Nero walk normally when he's on his feet?

I think they just like the feel on their tummies!

Re: Crawling
just keep an eye on his belly. If he does it too much he could irritate his skin - they do have such short hair on their bellies.

Re: Crawling
Ok, thank you, wondered if it was related to the allergy or an allergy.

Re: Crawling
Funny you should say that,I have noticed some little spots but not septic,just white lumps but didn’t know if it was a normal skin condition.

Re: Crawling
Sounds like he’s itching his tummy. See if your actions in your other allergy post has any influence on his commando crawl

Re: Crawling
Sounds like the allergy is on his tummy too, Katy sometimes gets the spots when she runs through long grass!

Re: Crawling
Oh poor boy, I see itchy hives there.
When he’s been through long grass, you can wipe/rinse off his tummy and towel dry to limit the quantity of allergens that are left there.

Re: Crawling
I believe it should if it helps for the rest.
An itch remains an allergic reaction in this case
