Frances went back to the vet today. She’s had a rash on her belly that wasn’t improving (or getting any worse). I tried giving her Benadryl for 36 hours, and then tried topical Benadryl spray. No change.
That was actually good news. An allergic reaction, like hives, could mean that she’s got another mast cell tumor growing. We don’t want that!
So I think allergies can be ruled out. The vet put her on a course of antibiotics, with the assumption that it’s a post-op staph infection. Hopefully that will clear everything up.
(That’s her “You aren’t shoving treats into my mouth fast enough” look.)
