We adopted Daisy from the shelter when she was 5.5 months old. I can't believe that she is already ONE! It's difficult to remember when she wasn't a part of our family.
Unfortunately Daisy had to go to visit Dr. Anna (our vet) today.
Good news......Dais
y weighs 111.9 lbs.
Bad news.....Bad news comes in threes right?
1 - Daisy's left ear has a bad infection. I thought it was yeast but it's worse. When Dr. Anna flushed it Daisy whimpered and began to shiver. It obviously hurt quite a bit. Poor girl. So....Ointment morning and night & a solution to flush it out at noon. Recheck in 2 weeks.
2 - the bump on Daisy's leg is either a bug bite or a bacterial thingy of some sort (I don't remember what Dr. Anna called it ) but the ointment for her ear can be used on it for the next 2 weeks and it will be rechecked.
3 - The famous anal sacs. Dr. Anna says, "Everything on Daisy is BIG and her anal sacs are no exception!" yea...I'm so proud.
Usually Daisy doesn't mind having this done but since her ear hurts so badly she isn't very cooperative and it takes 2 of us to hold her plus Dr. Anna doing her thing in the back end. ugh! Here's the worst part....Dr. Anna got 1/4 CUP out of Daisy!! I don't know anal sacs but that seems like a lot to me!!!
So...now my birthday girl is asleep at the end of the bed. She smells a bit better. Her butt is washed, her ear is lubed up and she had a special dinner.
I wanted to take a special birthday pic to post but I just don't have to heart to bug her. Poor stinky girl.
