Poor MoMo Poor Daddy 可憐MoMo 貧窮爸爸

Didn't know why my baby, MoMo, was easy to get sick lately. Formerly, he seldom needed to see the vet...twice a year at maximum. But since September this year to now, he has already consulted the doctors for three times. The doctors usually gave him injections and antibiotics. Not long when we thought the first-time treatment had cured MoMo completely, his allergic symptom appeared again. Apparently, the second-time treatment didn't work at all; he even began to throw up and got thiner. In the third-time visiting to the vet, it was confirmed that MoMo got Demodectic mange 毛囊蟲 (also known as red mange, follicular mange, or puppy mange). That means MoMo's immune systems were not strong enough to flight with the irritating environment. It may not a bad news; at least, MoMo doesn't have to diet strictly in order to narrow down the sources of allergy.

Anyway, MoMo has still to keep seeing the vet until he is completely cured. The doctor suggested two choices: medicining MoMo for over 4 months or bring MoMo to him every week for injection for 12 weeks. For MoMo's own good, we chose latter becasue MoMo's health progress can be followed by the vet everyweek. Why does it call poor daddy? Because daddy will take up all the treatment and medication charges. :(
