dogs are the greatest
Last night I watched part of this doco about a guy that went covert into Martin Creek Kennel, which was in the state of Arkansas, in the USA. His purpose was to film and gather evidence to make a case of animal cruelty against them and he was working with the
I never thought of dog theft before seeing that but I guess it's a problem over there. Don't know about here.
Fluffy had the same problem 6 months ago and no tests were done but talking to one of the girls at the vet yesterday and she mentioned maybe seeing a skin specialist. I'm not totally happy with the vets there but we've been going to them for years. it's not that they aren't good but they don't explain much and are very clinical, although one of them is really good in communicating the issues but isn't there much. Last time they just gave fluffy an injection and she had to take pills for months. It worked but I reckon there's underlying issues with her nerves and to the vet it's simply a skin irritation. Maybe he's right but she goes weak at the knees when you scratch certain spots and has bad nerves at times.
That's a PITA you have to buy 3 different dosages but can't you buy a bigger one and split it up between at least the smaller dogs? I used to do that. Fluffy hasn't had fleas on her for ages, except for one or two lately. She's an indoor dog though, so maybe that's why, OR the fleas are biting her, causing the irritation then jumping off. I'm more inclined to think it's something from rolling around in the grass in the backyard.
Never heard of Permoxin. Will google it. I was just going to try Malaseb, see if it helped and if not take her to the vet but she's been biting her self raw so I'll probably take her today.
