We went to the Canine Dermatologist yesterday. They did a visual exam. Some of you may remember that I had her shaved to be able to get the medicine for her allergies to her skin. Well the hair isn't grwoing back in the areas that she had very bad red blotches. He took her in the back and did a skin scrape. He tested for ringworm, scabies, and infections. She tested positive for staph infections, dermatitis and she has a yeast infection in her paws. He started her on 3 oral meds and a special shampoo. She is scheduled for her skin test next friday. I have to leave her for the day. It is an hour away. So I will bring her, then come back to work, then go back to get her. He said he would have the results when I pick her up.
On a good note, I was so PROUD of her. She behaved beautifully. We are working on her socialization and she only barked once or twice at the other animals and even played the sniff game with a huge golden retreiver.
One more thing, everytime I take her to the vet, I make sure she pees and poos before we go in, but she still poos on the floor in the office. What can I do about it?
Sorry so long. |
