I am going to stay at her house tomorrow, so I can go see my Dad in the hospital, and I have to take Cordell and Cole.
I'm scared though that my babies are going to catch whatever it is that little Meggie has.
Aunt says the vets have her on prednisone and benadryl, and that there's nothing else can be done.
Can anyone reassure me that my babies will be ok? I cannot leave them here, they will be crazy by the time I return, so that's pretty much out of the question.
Has anyone else heard of such a thing?
I have heard of dogs getting yeast infections of the skin and in their ears, but I don't know alot about it. Here are a couple links for you to read. I hope they help.
