Emma before and 4 weeks after some super basic treatment with antifungal and antibacterial oral medications for yeast and bacterial secondary infections. Now on to resolving an ear infection and continuing to control her allergic skin disease, atopic dermatitis. Owners have been great and bathe her almost every day. They are super happy as is Emma. Her after pics aren't that great because she is all energized and wouldn't sit for her photo session. Made my day.
