Some of you may remember my post about my albino Gordi having some orange stuff around his feet that smelled awful and that several trips to the vet hadn't yet resolved. Well, I took Gordi to the vet on Saturday and again nothing definite. Except that this time the vet found ear mite eggs in his ears. We had done several swabs on his ears before and found nothing. The vet didn't feel that this could be the cause of the problem. But I'm glad she found something wrong, even though ear mites are a pain to treat. Someone else posted to me about a similar problem they experienced with skin mites so I'm hopeful that this could be the cure. Oh, the vet also put him on Baytril (5mg) twice daily. I should know if the problem clears up in about a week and I will let you know the results. Unfortunately, now Gordi has another problem. Massive hair loss on his back. I think that it is just a new coat coming in (he's been shedding slowly recently) but it has come out MUCH TOO quickly with nothing new coming in yet. So I will call the vet and ask if it could be a reaction to the antibiotic. (I'm hoping this is not adrenal). Does anyone know if this could happen? I'm terribly worried. I love these little ones TOO much! I hope that everyone is doing fine and their little ones doing better! My sympathy and hugs to all those with sick fuzzies.
