| Please read - Kaya So she has been sick - yesterday morning I saw a little bit of red around the inside of her ear - not deep inside. The vet saw it and said he wasn't sure what it was, but it really didn't seem like an issue cause it was just a bit. (my interpretation) Tonight her face, her forehead, her belly are red, and it is starting on her back. She seems itchy, too. Before this started in her ears, she did not have any new food or shampoos or anything. Before I took her to the vet I did shampoo her with a new shampoo, but like I said, the red stuff had already started before that. I don't know if the canned I/D could be making it worse or the antibiotics could be? I don't know. I called the emergency vet and he said I could watch her for a bit and he suggested bringing her in.But he did say it was a good sign that was not any swelling or hives or anything. It will cost $99.00 just to walk in the door of the ER vet plus anything else they do. I have an appointment tomorrow morning at our vet. Do you think it is safe to wait? I know it seems stupid when they're sick to worry about the money but I am off work unpaid for 6 weeks cause of my surgery, so it is a concern. Dang |

| I'm so sorry to hear that Kaya's not doing so well...I wonder what's causing the redness everywhere?? What kind of antibiotics is she on?

| I have been putting neosporin on bite that Ahia gets from misquitos. the kind for pain. it helps with the itching and heals the bites alomst over night. I know what yours has is different but the pain soother in the neosporin might help yours get thru the night a little easier.

| http://www.wedgewoodpharmacy.com/mon...ronidazole.asp Here is a link regarding metronidazole. I don't know if it helps, but you might read it over...There is a section that talks about side effects. I don't think the antibiotics are causing this, but read this and see what you think. Could she be allergic to the i/d? Here is a link to the ingredients...Read them over and see if there's an ingredient in there that she might have allergies to... http://www.hillspet.com/zSkin_2/prod...=1174101316595

| Oh hun??? Hmmm Well does she seem bothered by it other than being itchy? Is she the same as she was at the vets other than the (rash) spreading? I think you may try to just watch her and If she becomes distressed or it changes alot more then I would take her if Not just wait till the morning. And go to your regular vet. Is Susie on line maybe she can ask her friend deb she is a vet. |

| If she's taking medication from the Vet. then please don't give her benadryl too. That could cause some major problems. Did she start turning red after taking the medications? If so then she's having an allergic reaction to them and the Dr. should take her off of them. I hope the problem is corrective real soon. |

She has never had allergies before, so I don't know. Thank you for finding those links - that was really sweet. | |
