1 6/12/23: When Mollie came into foster care, she was severely emaciated, and nearly hairless as a result of an acute case of demodectic mange.
2 6/14/23: Mollie's skin is much less inflamed. Mollie also had several kinds of intestinal parasites, which contributed to her malnutrition, but is fortunately heartworm negative. She will require several months of hands-on care, including every other day baths with a prescription shampoo. She is on a special high calorie prescription food three times a day and NexGard every month to treat the mange.
3 6/14/23: If you look closely, you can see some tiny baby hair starting to sprout!
4 6/28/23: She looks so much better! Also happy and playful!
5 6/28/23: Mollie is pictured playing with her foster sister Bessie. You can see the calmer skin and the baby hair growing in!
