I started going thru all her body and so far I have found over 25, this things are so small that they are extremely hard to see, is like the tip of a needle, that's the smallest thing I can think off. I have change her food, the vet gave her a shampoo, itch medicine, and we have never been able to find the cause for her itch. I do engraving with a microscope and even looking thru the scope they are very hard to see, you can identify them because you see the legs. She is not scratching anymore like she used to. |
Columbo had something similar once and they were chiggers. Looked like teeny tiny black ticks. Washing him in Dawn dish soap got rid of them. That was several years ago, before he started on Frontline.
