Poor Astro.

I love my best friend, and I love her dogs (Quazi and Astro) just as much.

Now, baby Astro is going through some things that's concerning me. Since I've been noticing that he's losing a lot of hair, his skins red, he keeps biting his little feet and lately, I've been seeing that he's rolling around on the ground and scratching his face a little more than he should. Now his left eye is swollen and red and it's starting to lose a little bit of hair. Another strange action that I've been seeing Astro go through is that when he bites himself, he's also plucking out the hair which is a strange behavior in dogs. So, that raised a really big red flag for me.

With my great searching skills and dog experiences that I've had throughout my life with dogs, I think I've gathered up enough information to possibly say that it's mange. It's common and it comes from mites... And he needs some special attention. He needs to change his diet and needs more care. He needs to change his shampoo, food and put in more supplements to increase the condition of his skin and he needs antibiotics.

The more I watch him, the more he's reminding me of Bruno. (my own dog)

Hopefully, we can take him to the vet next week when we all get paid.

Motherly,
Otter
