They quickly suggested going to their vet at their expense to get her checked out. They claimed he's the best they've ever had and he was also a skin specialist. He explained that sometimes testing for mange doesn't always have a positive reading so the symptoms will have to be treated. So he gave her a shot to kill the mites and breeder gave me the lyme-sulfur concentrate for her dip. I will be giving her a bath later today. I will be returning next Sat for another shot. He said I should see some improvements w/in this week. Her condition is apparently a mild case of sarcoptic mange. He took a couple of scrapings for culture so by my next visit I will see what he finds or doesn't find.
I will let you guys know results of the next visit. Thanks for checking. Needless to say, I feel pretty grateful for my breeder's response. They were glad to accompany me on such an early outing at 9:30 on a Sunday no less. |
I hope that Belle starts feeling better soon with this treatment. I will keep her in my prayers for a fast recovery. Im glad that the breeder help you out. Please keep us posted.
