And our bodies!
Reminds me of an episode of Northern Exposure when Maggie freaks out about mites.

Its great when they tell you something is wrong. Sissy is real good at telling me she has poop stuck to her butt and needs a bath!
The vet felt they didn't need to be retested and all her following check ups have never shown any sign of the little buggers. |
Thank you, Joan. Hoping we will be lucky too and never deal with this again.
