Injury Red wounds on hindlegs

Looks like he's been biting at his foot.

When did he have the Revolution?

About a week ago!

Okay he seems to be scratching every few minutes now, I will be bringing him to the vet... sigh I thought revolution was like a guaranteed repellant for the month :s

That's a bad place to try to treat something.

If he were mine, here's what I'd do...

If he's NOT licking and biting at it, I'd keep a very close eye on it for signs of infection -- redness, swelling, heat, pus, etc. If there's no infection and he's not aggravating it, maybe it'll start to clear up.

If he IS licking or biting at it, then I'd get some triple antibiotic cream (any brand, any pharmacy), and apply it VERY sparingly twice a day with a q-tip. You don't want him to be able to lick off the antibiotic. If you do try this, then weigh him daily, in the morning before breakfast, to make sure he's not losing weight, and watch carefully to see if he keeps eating. If he does stop eating or loses weight, get him to a vet for an oral treatment.
