THE KID’S DOCTOR: How to prevent bug bites all summer long
 By Sue Hubbard, M.D.
www.kidsdr.com
It is the time of year for bugs and bites, and I see a lot of kids with bites coming into my office. Parents ask, “What kind of bite is it?” And in most of the kids I see are having a reaction to a mosquito bite. Parents are extremely concerned that the reaction may be abnormal and lead to breathing issues or that the bite it is infected.

MY PET WORLD: What to do when your dog eats dog poop
 By Cathy M. Rosenthal
Tribune Content Agency
Dear Cathy,
My adult daughter and her family have a female lab mix named Scooby. Despite my seeing her three to four times a year (they live in Atlanta), she is always afraid of me and will sometimes bark and growl at me. Eventually she calms down and I can pet her. Even though she jumps on our bed and seems glad to see us, she avoids me later. She also got very upset with my other son-in-law and never calmed down enough for him to pet her.
