Poor Fluffy

 Fluffy had to go to the vet's today, again!

She went last week as the sores on her face and leg were open and red; every time she got her collar off, she would scratch at her face like crazy, making the sores bleed again. I was worried that she'd get an infection.

Hannah took her today. According to the vet, Fluffy might have atopic dermatitis, a skin condition caused by environmental allergens. The vet gave an injection and some meds but asked that we bring her back next week after the holiday; this week is a holiday in Japan.

I feel so sorry for Fluffy; she is such a lovely cat, very laid back, and seldom gets into fights or runs away.

She loves a bit of chicken and a few treats; she also loves drinking out of my water glass at lunch every day. I have 2 glasses of water on the table at lunchtime because I know I'm going to lose one.

I hope she gets better soon, as she is really miserable. It's heartbreaking to see how bad she looks!

She got her collar off and scratched her forehead.

Peaking out of her bed!

I know having pets means being responsible for them, making sure that their lives are well lived. I forgot how much heartache they can cause.
