| Skin is getting better When we first adopted Fergie she was a scratching machine. It was horrible. You may remember my initial posts that she was scratching and chewing herself raw; to the point of bleeding. Well, we used the Aloe & Oatmeal shampoo that the vet suggested last week and then had her on her medication for the skin as well. She has a couple of days of meds left (boy she doesn't like taking pills). The good news is that her scratching is WAY down and we haven't seen her chewing at all over the last few days. The sores are starting to scab over and dry out so she isn't reopening them which is awesome news. It's still tender; she's leery of the comb because it catches the scabs and sores and some are still sensitive so I have to be very careful when I comb her out. Praying this continues and we can clear up the skin completely. I think she's so much happier since she's not chewing her legs off. |

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | Wonderful! What meds are you using going forward to help w/ her allergies. There is Atopica (this is what Marcel uses), Temaril-P, Steroids, allergy testing/then custom shots; and, OTC antihists (haven't found these very effective).

| Pill taking< Because one of our dogs has to take pills twice a day permanently,we try to rotate what we hide them in. We have used pill pockets (very expensive,but if it is short term and it works who cares),peanutbutter,american cheese (a tiny bit,just to cover the pill),turkey (like the cheese),bread,pancake. If you can squish it around a pill and it is nontoxic,it will work. |
