Update...

I haven't been on since Christmas Eve (busy with family in from NY)!
Very behind on catching up on everyone's posts.
Hope you all had a wonderful holiday!
Mocha got a new bed and toys from Santa (pic below)....

I really enjoyed all the bully Christmas cards!
Can't get myself to take them down yet but all the rest of my decorations are put away. LOL!

Mocha Update:
I have been doing the epson salt, soaking Mocha's cyst on her toe for almost 2 weeks now. It's only gotten a little better but still not gone. How long does it usually take??

Mocha has had a few other issues. Don't know why all of a sudden she's gotten one thing after another! My poor Mochie! Her skin is very dry and flaky. She also has bully acne on her chin... which I have been treating with the brown listerine and stridex pads for a week now. She has stainless steel bowls and I always wipe her mouth after she eats and drinks! They start to bleed after she drinks, eats or plays rough for too long. I'm slowly switching her food to Natural Balance- Fish and Sweet Potato, started 5 days ago, along with a salmon oil added to her food too. Hope this will help with her skin issues. It breaks my heart to see with all these issues but acts fine as a whole. What is going on? Am I missing something?

Happy New Year!

Don't know if this will help, but I just

went through this with Ollie. Yours seems similar to his. He was very dry skinned, acne on his chin that didn't heal and then started losing little bits of hair on his back. Took him to the vet and he had a different type of mite/parasite I had never heard of before. She treated him with a topical 'Advantage Multi', and he was better within the week. Healed up on his chin, skin better and now has all his hair back and even his folds on his face are better. Hope this helps.

No...

The only red spots are the acne on her chin.

poor baby!

I bet the fish oil will really help with her skin. I'm not sure about the other stuff.

Re: Update...

awww. she looks so cozy in her bed.
Sorry I'm no help with the skin issues... i'm guessing it is food/allergy related. I'm sure somebody will respond with help for you :0)
