| Still itching....
Dot is still itching like mad. You can tell her coat is thinning. If it wasn't for the fact that she has long hair that sticks out everywhere, she would probably have bald spots. The worst spot is on her back. It is very flakey and she's scratched it enough to cause a few small scabs.
I talked to the lady I adopted Dot from (she's a vet, or at least a vet tech; not sure which) and she gave me three doses of Revolution to give her. I gave her the first does behind her ear a couple of days ago. I'm supposed to reapply the Revolution after 10 days.
I didn't know how long it normally took the Revolution to kick into effect if it is indeed mites? She's so sensitive I hate to even pick her up because it causes a mad spout of itching and groaning.
Is there anything it could be other than mites? She's eating, drinking, and preforming bodily functions all normally. I have heard her cough once or twice, but nothing frequent. She wheeks and talks to me when I talk to her, so I don't think she is in any pain.
Would giving her a bath help matters any, or no?  |
