I am owned by a 7 year old spayed Albino named Bebe. She has been
a very rambunctious, lively little thing for several years. But
through all those years, she has had problems with hair loss on her
tail. The vet seemed to think it was an infection of some
kind, and treated it with antibiotics. It would go away for a few
weeks and then return when we stopped the drugs.
I thought it might be ear mites, so we've treated for mites
very heavily, and it appears to have gone away. But she also has
a yellowing of the fur. When the vet had her on antibiotics, her
fur regained its original pure white color. Over the past
two week ago, she has again begun losing hair on her tail, and
experiencing the yellowing of fur, but this time, no evidence of ear mites.
She is also has two small cuts, one on her side and one on her
nose that don't seem to want to go away. Could this just be
her fault for scratching them or could it be something worth
more attention?
I guess what I'm really asking, is there a vet one might
reccommend in the Northern NJ/NYC area? This problems seem minor
to me, but I don't feel as if I'm getting a very informed answer
when I ask about them at my current vet's office.
Thanks so much,
David Gifford
