itch

My female owner has been feeling edgy. I mentioned before that she has a skin infection recently and she went to see a doctor about it. While her skin infection is healing properly, she developed skin itchiness! Which started on a localised area on her thighs and then spread all over her thighs and her tummy and her arms and her neck and the back of her shoulders.

Scratching like a monkey, her skin started to puff up and become painful. She also couldn’t really concentrate on her work and has been largely unproductive. The doctor had already told her not to take too many baths a day (he actually said it is ok not to bathe daily!), and if bathing, not to bathe too long or use too hot water (that’s her) and moisturise coz of the dry weather (again, guilty as charged). My female owner also reckons that she needs to drink more water to stay hydrated. Again, it is an effort on her part. She tends to forget to drink water, even after exercising. I think she must have been a camel in her previous life. Or maybe one of us, coz we can go without water (and food, but that is not her) for a few days.
