Itchy Minnow
I have an itchy little Minnow who has developed a rash. I took her to the doctor last Wednesday, the day before Thanksgiving, because she was not feeling well. She was diagnosed with her first ear infection and put on Amoxicillin. Minnow seemed to be feeling better the next day. Yesterday she developed a rash and is uncomfortable. She lays on the floor and writhes around, poor little itchy thing. I called the very helpful 24-hour nurseline and the friendly nurse said that 5-10% of kids on the antibiotic can develop a rash 5-7 days after starting the medicine. It is a non-allergic rash. Minnow woke up this morning ichier than ever and her face was puffy. We have an appointment at our clinic for this afternoon. I just have to put up with the itchy, writhing Minnow for a few more hours.
