I had to laugh at your story because when I was a baby about 6months old I got the chicken pox VERY bad and had HUGE red dots all over my body and face - my mom loves to tell me the story about when she would take me out for walks in the stroller and people would say "oh can I see your baby" - then they would look at me and say "OMG what is wrong with your baby?!?!!?" and walk away scared!! LOL --- my Magnum had mange and for a while it did look horrible - but her fur grew back nicely and she looks great now! Give it some time and your baby will be good as new and will be getting lots of compliments instead of scared looks!!
