3/17 DC AMPS=185 +6=97 PMPS=101

[Noreen&DC&Frisky]

DC ate good most of the day.
When I went to test his blood @ AM +6, I noticed a huge bald spot on his side.
He licked it raw. I don't know why. It doesn't look like there's anything there.
I phoned the vet and one of the vets from the clinic will meet me there @ 1:30 tomorrow afternoon to look at it.
I put a cone on him so he can't keep licking it and I also rubbed some polysporin cream on it.
All P's are in place. He's having a hard time getting around with the cone.
He keeps getting stuck on things. He's getting better as the night goes on.

Aww DC that's no good about your fur. Hope the vet works out what the problem is.

Gabby was grooming excessively last Fall and the fur on her belly was getting quite thin. Below is what my vet recommended:

There are several options—there is a product called Allerderm which is applied once weekly to the skin which can be quite helpful for itchy or dry skin. Additional fish oil omega-3 fatty acids, 200-250 mg daily, are often helpful, but may take up to 2 weeks to really have an effect. Antihistamines are often helpful—we seem to have the best success with Zyrtec, which is over-the-counter, or hydroxyzine which is a prescription medication.

We have Allerderm here, but you may be able to order it online. Zyrtec dosage is ½ of a 10 mg tablet by mouth (in food…) twice daily, or about every 12 hours, try for 7 days. Watch for drowsiness or restlessness, although side effects from Zyrtec are not likely or are very mild. Use plain Zyrtec, or cetirizine, only—no combo meds. The fish oil product we use is AllerG3, or you can use human products
