Hideaway Strath Itchy and scratchy show

She couldn't blame him for being distracted. That itching had to be driving him insane. But he agreed to her proposal and with that, she stepped closer. Clearing her throat, she began. "Alright, I'll start by taking a look at that foot, if you would." She nodded towards said paw, gesturing him to hold it out to her. It was a safe place to begin; Keyni did not want to get too close to a wolf she had met only seconds prior.

When he complied, her brows pinched together in scrutiny. The skin below his dark hairs was inflamed with an ever so faint pinkish tint. That wasn't nearly enough to go on alone. Inching her black nose closer, she sniffed, as he had done. After a long pause of what had to be contemplation, she spoke up. "Well the good news is there is no odor. That would indicate the start of a bacterial infection, below the surface." She said pointedly, calmly. "It is either a persistent heat rash...this heat with your dark fur will do that...or allergies." Reclining back and allowing him room to breathe, she offered her final bit of advice. "It's difficult, but try not to scratch, if you can help it. That will make it worse. These things usually clear up on their own." She looked around with a trained eye, as if looking for something in particular. "If I can find any Blue Elderberry, that should help relieve the itch, temporarily." She looked at him directly, completely professional. "How are your medicinal stores?"
