00:00 It's just very pink and irritated.
00:02 The infection seems to be still present.
00:04 Which worries me because when there is an internal pathology,
00:07 it prevents the body from fighting against the cutaneous infections.
00:10 You know where we're going, right?
00:16 You're excited like a little girl.
00:18 Holly is the perfect companion.
00:20 She's very attached to me.
00:23 She follows me everywhere.
00:25 She's happy to stay by my side in her basket while I'm working.
00:28 As long as she's with me.
00:30 Come on, Holly. Come here, my big girl.
00:32 She's a real glutton.
00:34 She can do everything.
00:36 One evening, she opened a jar of peanut butter
00:38 and swallowed a whole bunch of bread.
00:41 She made a sandwich.
00:43 That's my girl.
00:45 The only thing she prefers to eat is a hug.
00:48 Lots of pats and scratches.
00:50 She's very affectionate.
00:52 What do you think, Holly?
00:55 She was taken to the furnace because she was a wandering dog.
00:59 I don't know her age.
01:01 She weighed only 27 kilos at the time.
01:03 She was starving.
01:05 Holly would be happier if she didn't scratch herself all the time.
01:10 She's had a skin problem since I adopted her.
01:15 She is missing a lot of hair.
01:18 And her skin is all black and leathery.
01:22 She just chews and scratches and itches.
01:25 She drops skin films everywhere.
01:30 She's a real sand merchant.
01:33 She has a bed that's raised from the floor
01:36 and underneath is like a sandpit.
01:39 She sheds so much skin and hair.
01:43 It's a real battlefield.
01:46 Do you want to go under the bridge?
01:49 She loves to walk.
01:51 I'm afraid people will think I'm taking care of her badly.
01:54 Or that she has a serious illness and they can't caress her.
01:58 Where are you going?
02:00 It's sad.
02:02 We have been to the vet countless times.
02:06 We just can't get to the problem.
02:09 We haven't found the origin of the illness.
02:12 And I hope Dr. Joya will do.

02:21 Poor thing.
02:23 The eating seems to be important.
02:25 Does she bite blood? How does it happen?
02:27 She doesn't go that far.
02:29 It's just very red and irritated.
02:32 She continues to get new lesions.
02:35 The infection seems to be always present.
02:37 Which worries me because when there is an internal pathology,
02:40 it prevents the body from fighting against skin infections.
02:43 If you don't deal with the origin of the problem,
02:46 the skin infections come up, which causes eating disorders.
02:49 The dog scratches, it gets infected again.
02:52 It's a vicious cycle.
02:54 I absolutely need to find out what's going on.
02:57 I'll take her back to do some testing.
02:59 And then I'll do some skin and skin scrapes.
03:02 Very good.
03:04 At this point, I'm not sure I've explained her skin problems.
03:07 It could be a lot of things.
03:09 Here she is.
03:11 But I'm going to start with the simplest and see if she has any mites.
03:14 Well done. Lie down.
03:16 That's my girl.
03:17 I'm doing a scratch to see if she has any mites.
03:20 She's got to do this to find out what you have.
03:23 Everything's fine, my beautiful.
03:25 If this is mites, it's going to be easy to treat.
03:28 But I don't really know because I don't know her antecedents.
03:32 I'm looking for mites.
03:34 I don't see any.
03:35 And she does have inflammation.
03:38 Seeing all the inflammation in the microscope,
03:40 I'm afraid she might have an even more serious disease.
03:43 We're going to have to put her to sleep.
03:45 A little bit of a sting?
03:47 Good.
03:48 We need a cold-treatment for her.
03:50 We need to see the skin and how it's coming out of the tumors.
03:52 I'm going to biopsy the polyp
03:54 and I'm going to try to find out what she's got.
03:56 And I'm going to make sure I don't miss anything.
