Just very thin hair up there, it also is gray so that makes it look even balder. I took her to a Holistic Vet today. He was not at all happy at her foot. It is now swolen (it was not prior to the splint and bandage), it now has necrotic tissue and sores. I am happy I went to him because he gave me a shampoo to safely bathe her in every 3 days, a natural antibiotic for her foot and also some liquid to rub onto her foot 3 times a day. I am afraid she would have ended up with a very bad infection if I did nothing as the VEt teacher vet said to do. I hadn't even noticed how swolen it had become since I am not holding like I used to. All of this just sooo sucks! But I honestly believe that if I didn't buy Molly, she would be dead by now. |
Well if it is any kind of mite, mange or not, the ivermectin will take care of it, so yes I would get the other shot.
We had just the regular skin mites I was telling you about and Pennie lost A LOT of hair. So Molly will probably lose more hair before this is all said and done.
Here are pics of Pennie when I first got her and then after she was well again but had lost so much hair. I will have to take new pics, it is still like that, verrrrry slow growing back.
