Bailey had a vet appointment on Thursday for a rash that keeps coming back. Poor Bailey has been itching like crazy, and hasn't been able to sleep well at night (me either for that matter). The Vet was absolutely amazing with Bailey. Bailey usually loves people anyway, but the last Vet I took her to in Vinton she didn't care for at all and wouldn't sit still for him. Not so for this one. Bailey was very good on the table and let the Vet poke, prod, examin, and take skin graffs of the areas she was itching. The vet didn't find any bacteria or mites in her samples...so the next logical thing is an allergy. We switched her flea medication from Hertz to Advantix, because Bailey could be hyper sensative to flea bits (I've only ever found one flea on her here). I'm vacuuming the carpet everyday to insure that its not something in the carpet and if it is fleas that none of them are living. The next possibility is that she could be allergic to her food...as far fetched as that sounds to me because she has been on the same brand since she was a pup...its still a possibility. If its nothing inside then it could be the environment outside...and we will know that once winter comes...So for now she is on anti histamines to help with the itching, but they make her a very sleepy puppy.
