    Found ours in a parking lot, with her neck torn up to shreds, one of her toes broken, and a gash on one of her back legs. We also thought that she was well fed… she wasn’t. She was very skinny and pregnant.

    Took thousands of dollars in vet bills, and about 11 months to heal her back up to full + 5 years to figure out that she has an autoimmune disease that causes her skin to flare up and become very itchy and uncomfortable. She will be on meds for the rest of her life + always wear a neck protection band and a shirt to keep her from tearing herself up again. It is all worth it though, because she is the sweetest little fur ball in existence. Worth every penny, all effort.

      Mine had a similar situation with itchy skin with neck protections and everything, turns out it was flea allergy and just using revolution regularly fixed the problem altogether, I can’t recommend it enough. Revolution not only kill flea but it also combat the flea allergy.
