It's good to know that Maggie, our precious Shar Pei, finally recovered from her allergies. Maggie got stressed out when typhoon Frank hit our place two months ago, the reason that we don't have electricity for almost two weeks. Maggie couldn't stand the heat. My friend brought her to the veterinarian for her medication. She is also advised to take some vitamin E for quicker recovery.
