Hi,
A couple of weeks ago, one of my boys Jeff was scratching and itching, what I thought to be too much so I took him to the vet because I thought it might be mites or lice, etc. The vet said it could be mites or allergies. She gave him a shot of Ivermectin and a something to help with the itching. He did not have any hair loss or anything at the time only scabs from itching and digging. Now 2 weeks later he has hair loss. I thought maybe fungal, but I checked GL on fungus and his skin doesn't look anything like it. I cannot see anything on his skin, he is eating, running around, popcorning, giving me holy heck for holding my other boys when I hold them first. I called the vet yesterday, but the earliest I could get in is July 2. I am worried about him with the hair loss, but I keep thinking he is still eating and such so he should be ok until then. Any suggestions, opinions, thoughts? It would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
