And you said that she's had it since you brought her home with no changes? I think I noticed it a little bit when I first brought her home..it's a bit more prominent now..but nothing too much..you have to move her skin/forehead a bit for it to be noticeable..

(i've since applied that..so we'll see if it works)>.. Xena was fighting him a bit in the surgery, so he couldn't do a scraping. He says if the ADVOCATE doesn't work, he'll have to do a scraping, under local mild anesthetic...to calm her down a bit. We'll have to see if it sorts it out... She still has the bald patch, and it's grown slightly...perhaps about 3-5mm more.... it's pinky underneath..with a 3 or 4 red dots... It could be a graze, like sometimes when she's running for ball and goes down with her face...but I don't think it is.. Not sure how long demodex takes to go..and of course the hair grown afterwards.... Will perhaps leave it for another week before returning to vets for a 'scrape' sample.. At least it's moved a bit further back from her eye, so it might be safer now..

I've put some petroleum jelly directly on the affected area, to moisten it, as it appeared to be irritating her. This has seemed to have the right effect, as she's stopped scratching it... It's moved a bit back from her eye, so perhaps a scraping will be possible, if it's no better in a week's time, when she's next at the vet's. You can see the affected area in this picture I've just taken..;
