The good: My girls and I met their new vet this weekend. I immediately liked Dr. T. Cleo was up for her annual rabies and distemper. She gave the shots with 15 minutes in between and let us stay in the room to be sure there weren't any complications. Dr. T. was very affectionate with my girls immediately, which I appreciated as their mom. The bad: While I was there, I noticed a small spot on my Gypsy where all the hair was gone. I immediately started to panic. My first thought, adrenal disease. So when the Dr. came back I showed it to her and she said that she doesn't think that it's adrenal because she's a little young, 3 1/2, and also that adrenal disease tends to lose the hair patchy and in random places. This was a very specific area. She thinks it may be something fungal. So she did a patch test and I am now on the waiting game. It will take 7 to 10 days for the results. I'm so happy that she doesn't think it's adrenal, but what about this fungus? Does anyone know about this? My poor baby is scratching and I don't know how to help her except to help her scratch. Which she appreciates, I can tell because she kisses me, which she usually doesn't do very often. Thanks for listening everyone. Any information you can give me is greatly appreciated.
