Have you tried some Bag Balm?? That is what I would use if they are old bites. For new bites, my doggie first aid tells me cucumber slices are particularly effective for soothing ant bites.

It is a salve that was originally forumated to keep cow's udders soft and smooth, but is has a million uses and farmers for years have sworn by it for cuts, bug bites and anything else you might use an antiseptic on, though it really isn't an antiseptic. I know that PetSuppliesPlus sells it, but you can also find it in drug stores. I think it would probably be by where the Vasline is and much cheaper than the pet stores.......

I would take him to the vet. Just to see what it was.

im facing a similar problem but with balck fly, or masquito bites.
I think zeus is allergic because they get very swollen. DO you think that this sugesstions for ant bites would work for me too?

Bag Balm is great. I had horses and I used it on them all the time. It works like a miracle.

Absorbine Junior will help. But, a trip to the vet would be better.
