Well, I wanted to post an update on Bella. We went for another Vet appt today. The place I take her alternate who sees her each time unless you specifically ask. It's worked out great to get different opinions and to compare. He was very nice and took the time with all my ?s. He doesn't think it looks like Bella really has any mites, or mange because her skin really looks healthy. He also told me that what I thought about her hair thinnning is really her going from puppy stage to adulthood. We talked it over and he is somewhat convinced to lets give it a try first with her being spayed. He thinks it could be related? She never had itching problems until around 9 months old. I told him this is when her first heat cycle started. She still has a little swelling and could still be having false labor symptoms. So, we're putting her on Temaril P again until she is scheduled for spaying which will be in the next week or two. I want to search on this more. I was really impressed that he did not try to persuade me to do other allergy testing at this point. We talked about it, but he really did not think it was necessary at this stage. Anyone else seeing this occur during heat cycle? |
