QuestionPS Sorry...Wanted to add: The 'skin tags' are not ticks, they are his pink skin.
AnswerDear Rosalyn
This still warrants an in-person vet exam. The skin "tags" might not even be the source of the itching; it could be that they've been there all along, but the itching/scratching made you take a look.
I think the best course would be to get bun to a good vet for a positive diagnosis.
Hope this helps.
