Vet Check-Up

Wednesday afternoon Freja had a check-up at the Vet's office. She has completely recovered from Kennel Cough. She also gained a couple of pounds and is now 28lbs.

The demodicosis, however, has gotten worse instead of better with just the Goodwinol treatment. The vet did several skin scrapings and showed me the mites under the microscope. Freja has many mites when usually a healthy dog has so few that they can't be found with one skin scraping. So, Freja started a 30 day Ivermectin treatment today. This will treat the demodicosis systemically instead of topically.
