Ladybug Not A Selfie Sunday

I didn't want my picture taken, but Mom said that you all love me and that you would want to know what is going on. So when Mom took me to the vet Thursday I had several large sores on my back. The vet shaved my back so she could see them better. Mom has instructions to scrub them every day and give me an entire body bath 3 times a week with a medicated shampoo (she cheated and took me to the groomer Saturday) it was also suggested that I have an entire body shave for medical reasons. Even where I don't have sores I have dry flaky skin. This will allow Mom to monitor my skin condition better and the medication to get to my skin where it needs to be. Mom says I look really skinny without my fur. ~LadyBug

PeeS: Mom gave me a nickname and I really like it she calls me Ladybug. I have also learned to use the dog door.

We're sorry to hear you aren't feeling well, Ladybug, but we know your mom will give you the best of care and you will be better in no time. At least it's nice and warm where you live so the lack of hair won't cause you to get cold.

Poor kid! Do they know the cause? I have one collie with allergies, and the food that works best for her is Purina Pro Plan Salmon and Rice, sensitive skin and stomach. It cleared her problem right up, but unfortunately she has to stay on it for life. (And can only have treats that are made from salmon)

Mom says it's looking better and I do feel less itchy.

Alastriona, The Cats and Dogs said...

Thank you

Alastriona, The Cats and Dogs said...

I shall ask Mom for some, so far I have gotten to try pumpkin, cream-cheese and peanutbutter when I take my medicine.

Alastriona, The Cats and Dogs said...

We don't know the cause. If it doesn't clear up we will have to try to find out but it does seem to be improving. I suspect it may be from living next to the chickens for so long. And the lack of proper grooming after Dad got sick.
