We took Selby in for her first doctors visit. At first she was a little scared but after 30 seconds she realized that there where lots of friends in there to play with. (Selby hasn't learned yet that all dogs are not her friend) Doctor Carrie called us in and took lots of looks at her. She then proceeded to tell me that Selby looked like she might have mange and she had to take her in the back to get a skin sample. I said fine, like it was no big deal ...... then I heard Selby crying! My heart broke! Doctor Carrie brought her back in and told me that she did have mange and that it was a pain in the but to get rid of. (And costly). I then teared up, but she said she will be fine in a couple of months. We have to give her medicine, that she really doesn't like, every morning, (that's daddies job) and baths twice a week with special shampoo.
She is still peeing all around the house but has come a long way from when we first brought her home. She doesn't poop as much any more, actually she hasn't pooped in the house in a long time.
Jamie and I have both taken a vote and come to the conclusion that she is by far the cutest puppy in town!!!
