zak zak zak zak..

Happy scratched and scratched for the past two days.... more than usual! I thought it was flea, but it turned out that it was not, but a kind of red-coloured mites. It was on the outer flap of her ears and at the entrance of her ear. It was sucking her blood! I also found two red bumps on her back and a few on her front legs! I think the bumps on her back and legs are from the mosquitoes. Thank God it wasn't flea!! Guess she must have picked up the red-coloured mites from our hike in the mountain two days ago! I tried looking up for information on the mites, but still couldn't identify them. They are neither lice or ear mites or chiggers.... hmm.. puzzled me...

Anyway, I managed to remove all the mites ( only a few of them actually) and gave her a good soapy scrub down. It looked like it worked and she is sleeping peacefully now, gone are all those 'zak, zak, zak' annoying scratching sound! Hahahaha Thank God she has a strong immune system that prevented any serious infestation!
