Since Pearl has come off her previous medication she has taken a turn for the worse. Caroline thinks that Dr. Julia was only treating her syptoms before, so her skin got better. But now we are trying to treat the actual problem, her skin's gone back to it's original state...and so quickly!
It's only been 2 days and poor Pearl can't walk very fast anymore. Her skin hurts too much, and has become smelly again, like when we first got her. She has slowed right down. She is tearing up her skin which is oozing blood and pus. Her quality of life has gone right down, and it's difficult to watch.
Where she was starting to play and run, she is now painfully walking. Where she was playing with me and her puppies, she is now biting and scratching at her body. Where she was eating alot of food, she is now showing less interest.
It's a good thing the puppies enjoy eating solid food now (and they are eating alot!), because she can't feed them. Her belly and teats are too sore.
Caroline will buy a big cone collar to stop her from biting herself today.

Hey Caroline,
I know it's very hard to have Pearl puts on the collar but for her own good, it's better to have it on her. You are doing the right thing for her. I am looking after a cat that it's on IVY now......should be done in 30mins but I am so sleepy now......aaah!
