Hey all,
I haven't been able to log on for a few days because I had a tough time getting back on here............don't know why but anyway, I had to take Ted to the vet again yesterday because his itching was getting much worse and he was starting to get scabs on his right side. He was also itching so bad that he would wheek out in pain sometimes because I guess it really got to him. :... So I made him an appointment and took him in yesterday. Well they did a skin scrapping to see if he had mites, because I thought he had mites as well as the vet. She looked at his skin under a microscope and she said she saw no mites, but possible mite eggs. So she thought the best thing to do was give him a shot of Ivermetcin. He hated that! The poor thing squealed so loud and he really, really hated it! 8... Oh yeah ted also opened up a scab yesterday before we went to the vet, so she cleaned it out for him and put some ointment on it. She said to put Neosporin on it to help it heal better. He is still itching, but not quite as bad as he was. I'm supposed to take him back in another month to get another shot of Ivermetcin. She said if this shot doesn't work, the one he got yesterday, then she wants me to take him back in a week to give him a shot of steroids. My poor little guy has been through a lot this week. Hopefully he will get better, I will keep you posted!
