From The Past: August 22, 2006

Guido has been scratching at his armpits for a while now. During the summer, he caught some fleas. We rectified this problem by using FRONTLINE. It took a little while, but they finally died off. The scratching, however, continued. We checked his fur for flea poop or fleas, but there were none to be found.

He now has no fur under his armpits – none. You can see it good in this picture:

I took him to the vet this morning and the vet told me he has allergies. He said he wouldn’t know what Guido was allergic to unless he did a blood test. He said Guido could be allergic to anything from grass, mold, weeds – anything. He said a shot would take care of it for a while. He didn’t recommend doing the blood test, so I’m not going to worry about it for now.

He gave Guido the shot and then gave me some antifungal spray that I’m supposed to spray under his armpits twice a day. I hope that this gives him some relief.
