Life, according to Mia

New diary, new post

Like my brother, Madison, I'm not good at posting in a journal, so this may not always be up-to-date, but I'm gonna give it a try.

I'm itchy! Itchy all over! Mom has tried all sorts of things, including changing my diet to Innova (from Science Diet, which before the recall we thought was the best food out there!), giving me garlic treats, adding salmon oil to my dinner, and Benadryl 3x a day.

I still itch. Herbal (nonshampoo) baths help for about a day.

We live in Florida, so maybe it's the fleas that make me so sensitive?? Mom finds maybe 1 or 2 on me and Madison from time-to-time. She has sprayed the apartment and vacuums and does laundry regularly. We don't see fleas jumping around, but we called the bug man anyway. He said he doesn't think we have a "problem" but he sprayed anyway to be sure. We can't control the outside because it's an apartment.

Deep sigh.

It's frustrating. And I continue to itch. And pull my hair out.
