Scratch-proofed Suki

Suki is doing much better and is back to her perky self after her recent illness. She still coughs when she first wakes up or when she gets excited but it doesn't seem to be bothering her much and the antibiotics she's taking for the recent infection should keep any bronchial infections at bay.

The problem we were having was her persistent itching caused by the mange. Her skin is looking much better than it was, however her scratching irritates some of the worst mange spots. To solve the problem we've been keeping her in her little hoodie that "The Pet Market" gave her and also in a doggy diaper to cover the spots she bites at. She's tolerating it well, and it has definitely helped with the scratching, however she looks a bit like a girly-girl, as you can see in this photo. But the end result is that she's more comfortable and that's what counts.
