What I *THINK* worked for Harper

[allison]

I noticed today that Harper has definitely been growing some more feathers in!

The things I have done differently are #1 I got a humidifier a few weeks ago after talking to Ginger.
And #2 it occured to me that she started plucking when I started giving her stress relief rescue remedy, an herbal mix prescribed by my vet for Maddie who had Candida. I started adding it to everyone's water right before she started plucking and when she started plucking, I started putting it in the water I used to bathe her with. So a few weeks ago, I discontinued giving that as well. So I'm not sure exactly which thing, if any, helped her, but these feathers are definitely new looking through the pics.
The one with Beau I took less than two weeks ago. There were a few peaking through, and then the one on the boing is from today.

I bet it was the humidifier. Just MO. Either way, congrats, and I hope it continues well for you!

Humidity does seem to be a big thing. I hope Harper lets them feathers be this time

it could of been either, Some medicine does have side effects (just like human medicines) I would personally consider the meds did it, Since it seemed to start once she was given the medicine.

I am leaning toward the humidifier but it could have been both or either. Who knows, I'll just continue doing what I'm doing.
