I need some advice for little Dolly.

When I went to pick her up she was in a cage with a boar. I asked how long and apparently 5 days so 50 / 50 chance she's pregnant. I hope not - she's small, had one litter already and I want her to just be.

Anyway I did a topical half dose of ivermectin behind the ears - half in case she was pregnant.

I have bathed her and used super souflee on her skin as she looked a wee bit red behind the ears.

She's always scratching behind her ears. It's looking a bit red.

I am using super souflee on her every day but want to know if there is anything I can put on her skin that will help with the itching or anything I am missing?

Ideas?
 
I've not used the super souffle so can't comment on how useful it is in cases like this. Aloe vera gel/ointment or bepanthen are ones I've used and found effective.

You're on the ball, you know what you're doing with her; she should be itch-free in no time. :)
 
I'm sorry I can't help you with your skin problem, just wanted to say how much I LOVE the name!
I'm a HUGE Dolly Parton fan, if I had a girl i'd have a Dolly too!

Thanks - I love her name and it was part Dolly Parton and part as I have 2 little girls who love the word Dolly. Suits her!
