Molly - New to Cairn Rescue League
Please join the Cairn Rescue League in welcoming Molly. Molly was surrendered to the director of a shelter and should be in her foster home by this weekend. I'll try to put a picture of her in the blog area. Let's just say the discussion of skin issues is timely! Fortunately, she's going to a foster home that is experienced with this sort of thing.
"supposed to be 4 years old, and very sweet, but with horrific skin; owner said was just recent condition
but volunteer says has evidence of much longer involvement. Some has 'elephantized'; owner also stated that
was only a 'flare up' from when her daughter left and went back to school."
"I have the little female cairn, OTI, Spayed, etc., but with horrendous
skin - combination allergy / yeast / secondary bacterial infection; but
she's VERY sweet, allowed us to do nails, gave her a benedryl to help with
the severe itching; I'm going to start her tomorrow on Wellness dry - no
corn, no wheat, no soy; and my lemon/vinegar shampoo, and more benedryl to
see if we can get her some relief; she's 'Hot n' Sweaty'.
she's moist, hot and smells like an old tennis shoe, or a wet Army blanket
( or both )."

Re: Molly - New to Cairn Rescue League
What a pitiful look on her wee face, so sad. Obviously she's been in discomfort for quite a while. She's a lucky girl that she will now get the care and loving she needs and deserves.
hugs, T&C xox

Poor wee soul. I'm pleased she has an experienced foster carer ready to look after her.

Re: Molly - New to Cairn Rescue League
Even with her problems, she looks like a sweetheart. I am glad she is going to a foster home that is familiar with her problems.

Re: Molly - New to Cairn Rescue League
The symptoms you describe sound like Malassezia. I had a Westie that had it years ago and unfortunately it was never diagnosed as such. I know that it is a Cairn terrier and not a Westie but you might read on it, because it sounds just like what my dog had and there is specific treatment for it.
