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.
