I would guess he is being bitten by something but mosquitos are not high on the list. I would be more suspicious of fleas and would recommend you try a reputable flea product like Cheristin or Revolution and see if the bites resolve. An allergic reaction could potentially look like this as well. If he seems itchy, the veterinarian can provide medication to stop the itch. Thank you for using Pet Coach!
