Cali has an ouchie...CONEHEAD!!

[Queen of Poop]

So Cali wore her cone head all day. The bald patch increased exponentially in size anyway. It's coming down the inside of her right arm now. I called the vet as soon as I got home. They gave me some antibiotics for Miss Cali. I wondered how I'd give her the pill. No worries, give her a few whiskas temptations, toss the pill in the pile and GONE! Everything, pill and all. That was easy. Will keep a close eye on this situation and we will head back to the vets if it is getting any worse.

How strange! I hope that the antibiotics along with the ointment will help.

Hugs to sweet Cali!

Sounds strange... Did your vet test for mycosis, and other skin problems?

I'm not sure what they tested for. They took a swab and a glass slide. They told me it was a bacterial infection. It doesn't look any worse this morning so that is good, I hope. The minute I take the cone off she's licking the site so no relief for her. I think I figured how she did it though. She likes to stuff her toy mousie under the closet door and really likes to get her paw under the door. She must have caught a corner in her armpit and ouchie after that.

How is Cali doing today?

[Queen of Poop]

She's been off the meds and cone for a while now. Her armpit is still bald but she is leaving it alone. I check every day to see that she's not working on it and she's not. So I guess she is better.
