I Started Getting Itchy
Once again my skin started to itch and mom was pretty
sure my ear was getting infected so she made me an appointment to see the doctor. Her name is
Sheena Longothetti and she works at Westside Animal Clinic in Santa Cruz. I really like her! She spent 2 whole hours on me and even worked through her lunch hour because of my skin!
Was I Scared?
Mom wasn't sure how I would be when I
got to the vet but she didn't have a thing to worry about. I was so excited to
meet all the new people and smell all the new smells that I could hardly contain my
self! Turns out I do have an ear infection but
I'm on meds for it now so I should feel better in no time at all.
Now My Skin is More Complicated
Since I've been
itchy since I was born Shenna took some slides and a scraping to see what was
there. I had some bacteria and yeast on my skin, both secondary infections to the itching. (Except for the redness where I was scratching and itching you couldn't see anything.) She
thinks I might have an allergy to some foods and/or something in the
environment. So now, I'm on 3 meds to clear up my skin and stop the itching and
a special food made of hydrolyzed protein (sounds yucky but turns out it tastes
good!) Yay! She said it might take a couple of months to figure it out so I
just have to be patient. Mom and I will keep you posted.
