In the last two months, Jasmine has been to the vet for:
- Initial check up and shots
- Abscess in her paw, and follow-up visit
- Abscess in another paw (turned out to be a bee sting)
- Ear infection, and follow-up visit
I’ve had to do the following:
- Give liquid antibiotics (she resisted this)
- Give antibiotic pills (stuffed into cheese, this was easy)
- Soak and clean her abscess
- Wrap her paw with a warm compress (hard to have her keep on)
- Flush her ears with an anti-fungal every two to three days (um, not easy to say the least)
- Put COLD drops in her ears twice a day (not easy either…who likes cold drops in their ears?)
What amazes me is that Jasmine allows me to do what needs to be done (okay, sometimes there’s a struggle, but we’re past that). With a trusting soul and a few shivers and shakes, she gets through each procedure. She then allows me to pet her…all is forgiven. The trust she has for me…well, I’m really amazed. I know she doesn’t like the procedures, but she continues to submit to them and still like me afterwards. Good doggie.
