Bren and I are so worried. The allergy meds made the scabs go away, but now his ears just have dark black circles where the scabs used to be. Also, he's been losing lots of hair, especially on his ears... We are going to the vet next week to see if he has to have a biopsy or not. We're hoping she says it's just allergies.

Awwwww, poor Marty!!! I know that Reuger has something that makes him scratch. I finally switched him over to a skin sensitive food and he's doing sooooo much better. I thought that I must have had fleas really bad but had only seen a few but now I realize that it might have been dry skin. I'm really not sure. I really hope that you find out what's wrong with Marty. I know that it's such a worry when something's not right with our babies!!!

lovely story.

hope marty is better soon!
