WARNING: Butter's Before Picture
UPDATE: Butter had a little setback with her skin issue when we started to reduce the dosage of her meds.  She is improving again as she is back on the meds.  At this point it might mean that she will need to remain on meds her entire life.  They are around $65 for a month's supply.  She is definitely worth the extra effort, she's a good girl, she just loves humans, is very snuggly and sweet.  Everyone who meets her just loves her!
