Hi Margo, The bite did not abscess. I only found one small scab on her neck. It was probably a territorial bite. I don't think Callie is close enough to me enough of the time for her to intuit anything from my level of stress.
She is not on immune boosters currently. I was reluctant to do anything like that, for fear that it might cause her immune system to "misbehave." I am considering getting her on DMG, which seems more mild than something like Transfer Factor. I just hate to do something that might actually make it more likely that she would be persistently positive. Does anyone have any advice here? Thanks Margo, and everyone else, Lance On Tue, Jun 25, 2013, at 08:55 AM, Margo wrote: > > > Hi Lance, > > Could you describe the bite?
