How's Leika? Maybe she can wear a collar at home so that she's not touching it?

Cookie had fungus around her neck when she was a small puppy. It was from playing too roughly with other pups at the playgroup and GR are easily infected (as I was told by our vet). It were nasty looking greenish spots, but she got over it quickly with a oral medication and a cream which is actually something for birds. The spots dried out within a few days and the hair is about to start growing back now.
