i got called home from work today to pick alfie up with suspected chicken pox. i took him straight to the docs who checked him out and said hes not too sure if it is chicekn pox and looks quite like flea bites (qhich is quite possible seeing as tho we went to my mams last night with her minging dog!) He has about 4 spots on the back of his right leg and one on the bottom of his belly. gav said they were there last night but no more has appeared. if it is chicken pox how fast is it for the spots to come out? would more have appeared by now? x

What do they look like flea spots are different to pox spots. Rowans first 3'spots came up Thursday last week and the next day they all had like a dark yellowiquid case on top of them. They popped and now have scanned over. His last lot of spots appeared Sunday.

Flea bits are small mostly the same size and red

im not really sure what chicken pox looks like. therye small and red and dont seem to have got any bigger and also arent raised x

I just found on the net that chicken pox start on the face and neck then spread else where.

I think it's flea bites. As chicken pox develop into blisters

thanks hunny. youve been a great help! fingers crossed theres no more tomorrow x

No worries Hun.
