So I had been keeping my fingers crossed because after treating Pip with panacur it had been 7 weeks since her last fur pulling/eating incident causing her stasis. So I was getting very excited, 2 weeks longer than ever other episode. She had also been much more relaxed and flopping about more with Archie.
Last night she started pulling her fur again and she is once again bald under her chin! I know she will get stasis in a few days but I can't stop her pulling when we are asleep.
This is exactly 5 weeks since the panacur ended!
So I took her to the vets tonight and saw my favourite vet. He gave her a full checkup and talked everything through for an hr! He is thinking along the same lines as me, that's it's internal parasites except he is leaning towards EC and that the panacur treatment of 10 days helped but wasn't long enough.
We think she pulls her fur because whatever pain the parasite is causing she can't stop so pulls her fur to try to help.
She has no mites, perfect teeth and ears. He also remembers doing her spay and thinks it's extremely unlikely he left anything behind causing hormonal imbalances, and she is not nesting, but eating the fur.
So he has suggested giving her panacur for 28 days and seeing if that helps. I'm relieved that he took me seriously and didn't say it was just behavioural like the other vet I had been seeing.
I think I need to do special cleaning on certain days of the cycle for their cage is this right?
