For the last 2 days he has been shaking and crying a lot. The vet gave me two topical sprays, which I have never heard of before, and told me to spray him everyday. After I spray him he runs in cirlces and cries and shakes. I don't know what to do. The vet doesn't know much english and I don't know much Chinese and I am afraid that the medicine is going to hurt my baby boy. he already had a bad reation to the dewormer I gave him and had a hypoglycemic fit. He is losing hair now and is very tired and needs to be held, but now I have the itchies too! I don't know how good the Chinese food is so I feed him purina puppy chow (which he hates) fish, steak, carrots, and apple. I have washed everything, but I don't how he got it. He doesn't go outside at all because it is too cold. Please help me, I feel lost. |
I read the replies and got a little confused - is he diagnosed with scabies ? The only experience I have is remembering someone who had them in their home (no fault of their own) and it was a nightmare to get rid of - not only for the poor dog who was suffering but the humans in contact - IF it is scabies - you'll have to treat
your whole home and be religeous about it....and I'd be very scared to use a chemical everyday on any pet....
If you noticed you itch too - it must be something in the home and that's where it becomes alot of work. You hate to see your dog suffering and will need to get a handle on this quickly....Some 'mites' live UNDER under the skin and cause misery.....
you don't have to have an unclean envoirnment to have a problem like this but you will need to be pro-active and find out what exactly is going on and take it from there....ALL THE BEST ! I'd hate to be in your shoes and I hope your little guy will be ok
