Poor pup! If he does have a flea allergy, it will be very important to keep him on a good quality prescription flea control medication such as Nexgard, Bravecto, or Comfortis/Trifexis - this should help keep him symptoms to a minimum. If he's currently very itchy, he may also need to see a vet for medication to get his current flare-up under control, such as a short-term steroid and/or an antibiotic.
