Uma wasn’t too happy that I “abandoned her” for a couple hours at the vet’s office this morning. Her itchy skin required not one but two baths that the vet recommended: one for fleas (!) and one medicinal to target her dry skin.
I was shocked about the fleas since she didn’t have them the day before —I regularly check her when I pet her. I used to be on top of fleas, ticks, and heart worm back when we were living in the Caribbean, both her and Gala. However, I haven’t treated Uma for them since I moved here to Cholula, as my vet from Tulum (sea level) told me that those parasites are not a problem in these very-high altitudes (2,100m).
Well, my Cholula vet just smiled and said it wasn’t a problem if I lived in a big city. But here in Cholula where there are goats, cows, horses, lambs, turkeys, etc., in our backyards and roaming the streets, it is a problem.
So that’s done. She also had her nails clipped (which is the worst torture for her) and was given the quintuple vaccine and a couple pills for her inner parasites, so she got a “full service” today, and she is good as new :o)
