| Oh Mites, Be Gone! I ran across this picture from August of last year. It hurts even looking at it... After 2 allergy misdiagnoses (by 2 different vets) and months and months and months of food trials and different medications, with her skin getting worse and worse, an actual allergy vet figured out Trixie had mites, not allergies. And now a few months later the mites are GOING AWAY!!! Whoohooo!!! I'm so happy her belly is all pink again. We still have about a month and a half of medication left, but she's doing sooo much better. 1. Trixie with "allergies", but really skin mites (demodex) 2. Belly is pink again!!!!

| Thanks! Vets seem to be gravitating to allergies as soon as they see redness in the skin and itchyness. And even though I asked for a skin scrape, they assured me it looked like allergies.
