Hi all! I had to take my sweetheart Dookie McBearMouse to the vet Friday due to a reaction she had to some flea bites she got. The poor little thing only had 4 fleas on her when I caught them, but in two days she had scratched herself raw! I ran her into the vet,and he suggested that I get some over the counter Cortaid to apply to the raw skin. Well, thank goodness it's worked miracles! Dookie didn't like having it rubbed on her the first couple of times, but has since realized that the ointment will neither hurt nor kill her! :) She actually cuddles up to me when I apply it to her back, and I've already noticed the rawness going away. My other fuzzie Stella had some fleas on her as well, but had nowhere near the reaction to them. We have since bug bombed and shampoo'd them, and so far so good. Here's hopin...
