It has been a while since I have been on dogsters. I have not been feeling up to par. I started out with red blotches which the vet contributed to allergies. One month later red blotches back and now my chest area, ears, tummy and legs have scaly bald spots all over. The vet is saying my immune systems is so low it is not fighting off the yeast infection. I have bald spots all over my body and am on a regimen of anti itch pills, antibiotics, steroids, omega 3 with fish oil, medicated baths twice a week and ear drops. My mom is so upset that she is fighting the tears from dropping on her laptop while she types this message. She wants to let me know that I am not her whole life because she does have to go to work, and she has beautiful children and grandchildren that she tries to in a sense take care of if only for support and encouragement, but she does tell me I make her life whole. The medicine makes me thirsty and since I have to wear the plastic cone around my neck so I dont lick or bite at myself, when ever I go to my water bowl and whine, she takes the cone off. She is worried that when she is at work even though she has put my water bowl on the floor she is worried that I wont try to drink it. She tells me that she doesnt want my quantity of life not to be quality of life. I worry about my mom thinking about me at work all day and struggling and maybe a little snapping at her fellow employees because she is wondering if I am alright. Please mom I know you love me and you know I love you. I will be alright given time I think. The vet told my mom it would not be an overnight cure for this, so jokingly mommy turns to me and says "well I guess I am going to have to keep working to pay for all these coming vet bills" she laughed and gave me a hug, and I hugged her back.

AWW, Amber! Sorry to hear about the allergies and stuff. Your momma loves you SO MUCH she can't bear to see you uncomfortable. We're sending hugs and licks your way. Please tell momma to let us know how things go?

Thank you so much Cody for being so concerned about my health. I have been taking, antibiotics, steroids, baths, ear cleanings, anti itch pills, along with my thyroid medicine and anti anxiety pills. All in all its about 23 pills a day. Mom worries about me so much but I seem to be feeling a little better. Hopefully soon I will be back to normal, so that my mom wont feel bad any longer. Thanks for asking about me Cody.
