Glad to know your girls have this problem and you don't seem too worried! Makes me feel better! What do you do to get this to go away, Tracy? Do you just visit vet?
I'm guessing this would be the cause of the discharge in his eye lately... UGH! |
Oh yes, Luna had the extreme eye boogies while she was suffering with this. It is way better now, but she's always been a little boogerish
It only took a few days of scratching for her to get the skin infection, Izzy luckily did not. They both wouldn't stop itching though, so the vet gave them both an anti-inflammatory shot (I don't know what it was, forgot to ask) and Luna got antibiotics.
A vet will definitely be necessary to end the itching cycle. Benadry just did not work very well with mine. Plus the bumps your baby has need help to clear up. It shouldn't be too awful expensive, since it's just one dog. We spent almost $500, but they also got their rabies shot and I prepaid for their other immunizations that day. Plus office visit fee, fecal and heartworm tests and the shot for itching. Whatever the cost, it is TOTALLY worth it to come home and see my girls actually relaxing without scratching themselves to death.
The sooner the better, though, as this will likely only get worse and probably be more expensive to treat, then. Good luck, I hope your baby is all better quickly, it's so hard to watch them suffer!
