Sorry for late reply, Kay, I just started back at PT. Glad you saw the vet and it eased your mind. Knock on wood, I'm luckier w/Klo than with poor Cody who also lived at the vet. *Sigh* we worry so much about them. Tears your heart out. Do you have pet insurance? Anyway, tons of kisses on Nala, sweet dear. What a brave, excellent girl she is! Glad you feel better too.
Of course, I was JUST about to mention to my mom about how much better it looks today (A SCAB!) and there she goes and itches it. SOOOO.. Nala has a pretty new sock to wear!
I didn't realize she could reach it... Now to keep the sock on?
She doesn't seem to care about it right now. Walks normally.
Poor girl probably won't be able to have any fun today. :(
I guess, on a good note, if she's itching it means it's healing.
At least she can't reach it to mess with it.
It'll heal soon.
Hope she feels better!
Hi Kay - hope Nala is feeling better. Hot spots are a pain, but this time of year are pretty common. I worry about it with Penny when she plays in the pool. We haven't had any yet, thank goodness, but I keep an eye out anyway.
Thanks again everyone - who's posted and who've recently sent PM's concerned about Nala. For those of you who have been wondering and asking through PM's about how she's doing, here's your update. :) Thanks again.
Her hot spot is nearly gone, thank gosh. You can see the new skin and she's got a bit of scab left over. she has 5 days left of pills to take. Her hair is growing back too, but it looks quite silly. I wish they hadn't shaved off so much when it really wasn't that large.
Her face is healing too, so she's been trying to itch it quite often. They look a bit better than they did before.
She hasn't gotten a bath in quite a while because i've been afraid to irritate the hot spot. Although it looks like it's almost completely healed now, she'll probably be getting a bath sometime this week.

Good to see Nala's doing better. That hot spot was well...yucky! Looks much better now. Good for Nala! :D
She is healing up nicely :)
Thanks for the update! Glad she's healing up!
YAY! Thats a good girl Nala! You're such a brave girl! I know its itchy sweetie, but don't scratch it! Glad to see you're back to yourself almost!
How about some Celebration Pics Kay? :D
poor lil nala
I'm *so* happy to hear that she is feeling better!
Thanks everyone. :)
I may be able to post some pictures sometime today. ( I have a TON I haven't posted yet. :o )
Another silly, but exciting(for me) update..
Last night when my friend Gina was over, she looked down at Nala and goes "OH! It's healing.."
I didn't look at it but I had earlier, so I said "Yeah, she only has a little bit of scab left."
Gina told me to look at it, and the scab was completely gone!
It must have either fallen off or she itched it off, but now all I see is new skin! :D I was just looking at it a few seconds ago and before she'd kind of "twitch" when I touched near it, now she doesn't even bother! :) :D
I am so glad to hear that Nala's hotspot is almost completely healed. Poor little girl, she was very brave. I hope her other owwies heal well.
Aww I just saw this now. Meeka has the same thing, only she has two! :eek: :( Hers is getting better... but its still there. Im glad Nala's is better! :D
Yay!! I'm so happy to hear that Nala's little owie has healed.
Hot spots are sooo annoying!
it looks great! I'm so glad she's doing so much better.
