Took Daisy to the vet today…

???? ????????? ???? ????? ?????????? ???? ??? ?????

Teddi mama with her little 4 – 6 month old Daisy baby. The vet said she has mange – a result of parasites that came from the dirt she was living in or another animal. Carlos and I saw the other animals and would have to say it came from the dirt. Daisy’s young age and unhealthy immune system allowed the parasites to attack, infest follicles and open them up for a breeding of infectious bacteria. Poor little Daisy has a secondary skin infection which we are treating with antibiotics. The mange is a mild from and will be treated with a medicated “dip” that Daisy will need to have once a week for the next three to four weeks. The mange parasite Daisy has is not at all dangerous to us humans and there is just a slight chance the other animals could be infected. Like I said before it is mainly due to her weak immune system and age. Daisy is on her way to a full and healthy recovery! Teddi is totally in love with her new pupper uppers!

After we got home I felt it was time for a bath – I, of course, got the “okay” from the vet first to give her a bath. She is way too ill to fight or even shake the water off in the bath, but I think she felt better… A little anway. She was so dirty and yucky but after the bath her fur was so soft!

Good girl!
