Pickle, Months of treatments, salves and medications later
Here's my pickle Catahoula.. the one that put me in a bit of a debt LOL
This is months after her first spots started and her scratching went insane..
LOTS OF MONEY later.. Unimaginable amounts of stress later..
Here's her at her worst with giant welts like hives from scratching.. http://i.imgur.com/ytVSz3o.jpg
Here's a little bit in after the second vet visit.. somewhat better but getting worse at the same time (ears/tail/legs getting worse) http://i.imgur.com/vnK6xk9.jpg
This is after so much work, daily pills twice a day, rubbed down all the time, spending all her time inside with me except minutes to go potty, numerous flea treatments/yard treatments and house treatments, tons and tons of rubs and salves on her..
Put myself into debt with other bills and rent so i could make her pain stop..
know what cured it all? within a week?
K-9 Advantix 2.. A week after putting the drops on, she stopped scratching within 12 hours, and by that one week mark, hair was already poking out.. I was floored.
So she's gotten her second dose now and getting better!
I feel like a complete and total knob trying to make her better with so many vet bills and such..
My mom made me learn a tough lesson with this one "Not everything is a trip to the vet or doctor"
heh heh, she was telling me K-9 advantix 2 from the start.. but i was too scared it was an infection or thyroid or some other horrible thing.
lesson learned damnit.

she's not itching except for the seldom tick, and so much happier, she can actually lay on her side like a melted puppy and sleep all day if she wants without having an uncomfortable irritation, and her hair is growing out.. now i need to compare her spots to her old photos to make sure they still line up lolol
i can't wait for a full good brushing for her, she looks so sleek and shiny after a total brushing, she's still got spots where it's growing in slower but she's not itching like she did and it's regrowing! now i just need to keep her on k9 advantix! Can't believe i didn't just trust my mom's opinion and took her to so many vets lol
