First I would give a flea or medicated bath to remove the insects and soothe and cleanse the skin. You can give Benadryl to reduce the itching. There is a section on this website that has the dose and a discussion about the medication. If it’s not improving please take him in for an exam and treatment. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to help you care for Moti.
