The little sprot has been frantically scratching his head. You know, not the 'something itches, give it a scratch, move on', but the 'somethings itches, give it a scratch, scratch harder, keep going into the bleeding zone, keep on scratching, ooh that feels better, scratch some more, scratching scratching SCRATCHING'.
The doc thinks it is some kind of infection, and we are now taking antibiotics for a few days. The timing is good as sprat also has a cold, and the antibiotics will prevent that from turning into a chest or ear infection. And we have some kind of medicated shampoo that should help too.
But I did have this thought - don't give him antibiotics and probiotics in the same tummy load, that ain't gonna help the probiotics. And I'm going to be having a lot of baths in the next few weeks, as it is the only way we can Cvince him that washing is not tantamount to death. If there is company in the water he seems to think it is not the end of his short existence. Other people's children cry when they have to get out of the water, not scream in terror going in.
