SKIN DISORDER - Weekend Report
Saturday     
 > With steroids reduced to 1 X 2mg Vanectyl-P /day ... thought was, "if scratching is reduced then the allergen must be in Unxbridge/or apartment" 
ALAS ...  
         scratching continued and became so continual throughout the night that sleep-of-Handler was disrupted!
TUFT= a cluster of hairs, signalling a spot where dog stopped to scratch considerably
Tufts were gathered continually - not counted - while we were Guests in Ottawa
Sunday & Monday
> Steroids administered = 2 X 2mg 
NO REDUCTION IN ITCHING NOTICED
Tuesday, 09 October
>  X 2mg Vanectyl-P
> 6 Tufts of hair collected
Note;  amount of scratching IS NOT reduced
BUT
the "pink chicken-pock-like spots" appear to NOT occur (only one could be found on groin or medial thigh area.
