Hope little Luna feels better soon. |
Thanks
She is much better today, her skin was this awful hot pink and it's now her normal colors. Izzy is better too, that shot helped break the itching cycle for both of them, thank goodness. It's incredible what ONE flea will do to my poor babies. Even after getting rid of the fleas, they were still itchy and Luna was especially inflamed and had actually developed a secondary infection
Vet said it can sometimes take a couple of weeks after the fleas are gone for their skin to settle down, ugh! I can't stand to see my girls suffering at all, they are my heart
