Cameo and I went to the vet yesterday to follow-up on her mange treatment. She's not afraid to get in the car or to go to the vet. She loves to ride with me and was tugging her little heart out to get insdie when we got to the front door.
There's no visible evidence of patching and her coat is completely grown back with just a little pink showing around her mouth. We got her nails trimmed (they forgot the last time were in), and I asked to check her ears as she's been scratching a lot lately. He got some stuff out of her left ear and did a scraping, having a difficult time picking places to scrape. The results of the scraping: no critters seen. Doc Young wants to keep her on the Ivermectin for another month to make sure they're gone for good. Cameo will be one year old this month and my understanding is a healthy immune system should start to kick in around now and keep the little buggers at bay. He also said she's got a yeast infection in one ear, hence the digging, and sent us home with drops and said to give her an ear rinse twice a week until the ear drops treatment is complete. Her right eye is a little irritated, probably due to Nala chewing on her face. Otherwise he looked her over, front to back, checked her neck glands, listened to her insides and said she's doing fine. He sent us home with 3V supplement a couple of months ago and we feel this has helped with her coat growth. Rattagan is getting it also as it claims to help with joint heath. With the way his fur is growing back where he was shaved and how he is doing with his legs I think the stuff actually does some good.
Doctor Young and his vet tech (future vet) Chris are absolutley wonderful with her. Everyone she sees at the vet's just loves her. Cameo saw her first cat up close. Cat was on a leash and was hissing and all the other stuff cats do, but Cameo just wanted to play...sweet girl baby. |
