Good morning and thank you all for the kind replies! Haha, I wish I could miss the midterm!! "Sorry prof, my dog ate my pencil so I couldn't take the test." Wonder how that would go over
I neglected to mention that I DID take Kiwi to the vet already. The vet said she does have ear and possibly skin mites. She gave Kiwi and injection of ivermectin for the mites. There was no skin scraping simply because the vet told me there was no particular area where she'd be able to scrape yet. The vet told me to bring her stool in next week to make sure everything is OK. Kiwi only started dragging her butt on the floor later that evening.
So I hope the ivermecin works and Kiwi will stop scratching soon!! Poor girl must be going through hell.
