Thoughts on Appoquel

[peacebuzzard]

10. I am sorry; it really worried me when my rescue one-eyed shiu tzu had her attacks.

it always ironically happened regularly almost at the same time of day. I would bathe her with lotions and do a complete disinfection of the whole room she stayed in. Eventually, it diminished as the season progressed. She was an inside-only house dog and was a rescue from the Katrina floods. She was literally plucked from the floods and later had to undergo an eye enucleation because of an infection as a result of swimming through the flood of sewage waters. I always wondered if maybe she became infected with some unusual parasite from those waters. I will never know. She later contracted kidney failure and lost control of her hindquarters. I will never forget those itching horrors though...it would last for hours it seemed and she was in agony until the Benadryl would kick in. I still miss my little Maggie. ❤️
