Well, the vet basically doesn't really know what is up with Archie. He is having a reaction and the vet says it is a typical flea allergy exacerbated by continual scratching, breaking of the skin, and then scratching again. However, he can't find any evidence of fleas. He went thru his fur with a torch and found nothing.

So, he got an antibiotic injection, another of antiinflammatory, and his flea and worming drops.

He is to go back in a fortnight to see how he is progressing.
