Thank you Mare I have had him and his sister since they were 3 mo old, maybe he was born with it.....It is really weird. He runs around here like a wild man. The cream I am using is an herbal/shea butter/aloe/plus thick cream....I don't know if its helping because he doesn't like the taste or it has relieved whatever was causing him to nibble.....
He doesn't run when I put it on so I will continue. I was thinking the heat, but couldn't figure out why that area...
