Took fudge to the vets on wednesday, because I'd notice patches of flaky skin (dandruff) Hadn't posted about this before as even though everyone is so helpful and gives great advice, I thought I'd be told to take her to the V.E.T.S. Did do a search through some old posts though!!!!
Anyway the vet took some of her fur to put under the microscope and found she'd got mites (was kinda relived cuz thought I'd taken her for no reason!) fudge then had the first of three injections to clear this up.
my main reason for posting is that since going to the vets I had spied the little beggers crawling round in her fur :shock: ...Do I phone the vets and find out if there is anything else I can do, eg shampoo etc, or should they just disappear after having the injections................I can't stop scratching now at the thought of fudges itchy friends. :lol: As it is I've not seen her bothered by them...no scratching, soreness or redness...think I was more bothered than her.....she was certainly more bothered by the trip to the vets in my car......oh any advice on keeping them calm...fudge sat shaking and looking rather scared in her carrier for quite a while, although as soon as she was in my arms, she got snuggly and nearly dosed off!!!!
