The pictures say it all! Brinley has quite a bit more fur than she did a week ago. We have been spraying her every 2 hours with the Buro-sol Solution to keep the itching and inflammation down. She has been having the prescription shampoo baths every 2 days, and in addition to the meds she is getting the EFA Supplement and the Immuno Support Supplement. She is on a new Hypo-Allergenic diet, and a probiotic and everything seems to be coming together. She is gaining weight, fur is growing and she is no longer itching.
She will have a re-check with the vet on Friday and we can see if we have conquered the mites. If we have been successful and won the battle then she should be well on her way to being a furry boxer puppy.
With each passing day she is getting braver, and braver. She is still pretty nervous when something is new, she generally just lacks confidence. But she now walks to the park, and knows the way we will go. On the weekend she went to the fenced off leash and had a good boxer burn with another boxer, and played and played until I thought she might be too tired to walk home.
Olly has accepted that she is going to be here for a bit and the two of them will actually play sometimes. They had a great time running and chasing each other in the snow tonight, and chasing the kong.
Crate time is getting a bit easier for her, we have been feeding her in the crate, so she is not as reluctant to go in, still shakes a lot when you first get her in, but the drooling and blanket shredding has subsided.
