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

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!

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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