To lessen her symptoms we put a cotton t-shirt or even PJs on her, change it daily, wipe her down with a damp cloth and minimize her stays outside. As a shampoo we use Aveeno oatmeal body wash and we use the same to wash her clothes.
Maggie gets a daily pill too but it's Atopica, an immune system depressor. I know it is not the ideal solution b/c it can shorten her life but we decided to give her the pill b/c it gives her peace and a higher quality of life.
Oh... did you check for fleas? They are very nasty this year. |
I am so sorry Mitzi has to endure all this.
It seems that it is always something, sometimes. The picture of Mitzi, is that her reaction to her allergies? The reason I'm asking is because it looks as though it's a pattern. Poor baby. She is still beautiful.
