thank you
We tested Barney's blood about a month or so after he recovered. We didn't have to, but wanted to see whether his levels were still up. I think if he is feeling good, you don't necessarily need to do blood work unless your vet thinks it's warranted. Also I noticed that you were giving the canned RC gastrointestinal LF food. I use the kibble and Barney loves it.

I would not bathe him today, I'd wait a couple more days. If he's itchy, you could do a sponge type bath with a little washcloth.
