Hi everyone,
maybe some of you know what is wrong with my baby...
Carter started scratching his ears until they were all bloody a few weeks ago, the vet found they were inflamed and gave him antibiotics which worked fine. So far so good.
But on Friday he began scratching and hacking little bits of fur - with the skin still on
- out of his left shoulder and at first I thought it was just a side effect of the ear scratching thing, like his claws slipped off or something. Every day this gaping hole where the fur is missing becomes bigger and it seems to be so very itchy that he scratches all the time, ripped-off skin and blood everywhere
We're going to see the vet this week still but in the meantime, does anybody know what might be the matter or how to ease the itching? I've tried some olive oil and tea on the wound so it shouldn't get infected to make things worse, but there wasn't anything changing...
Thank you in advance for any ideas or vibes!
Mary
