I thought it sounded terrible and even if it worked however that could be just the thought of the burning was too much for me. She is going in to see my vet tonight at 8pm. He's staying late to see her. I love him to bits. I just want to find out the reasons behind her redness, the bleeding ankle and the whining. I just got her to eat some rice and veggies so that's a plus. I'm pretty sure that food energy helps to heal, and since she hasn't eaten much of anything since last Thursday maybe that's part of the delay? Who knows but she's going to be seen. This is the first female dog we've ever had so the spay is so new to us not to mention deaf dog and ankle surgery and and....we're learning as we go. I guess I'm an over protective mom, maybe it's nothing but she isn't herself and I stress over her just as I do my kids.
