I'm not sure if I spelled this right or not. Angel has little scabs all over her body. I mentioned them to the Vet. when I took her in for her yearly shots in September, but he didn't seem too concerned about them at the time. It was a temporary substitute Vet., as our regular Vet. wasn't in that day.
But they've gotten worse, so I took her back to the Vet. today, and she was examined by our regular Vet., and he diagnosed it as "milliary dermatits". He said it's probably an allergic reaction to something, but he doesn't know what. He gave her a cortisone shot, so hopefully it will settle down some.
She hasn't been "complaining" or acting like it's bothering her or anything. I can just feel it whenever I pet her. But when I would try to get a good look at one of them, she would start grooming and digging like it was itching.
I sure hope the cortisone shot helps!

P.S. I think Angel will try to convince us that it is Shadow and Annie that she is allergic to!
