So, I slept with another woman last night
. Yep, I brought her in last night...as you all probably knew I would. I brought her into a guest bedroom and she was great; prior to that - she had some quality sofa time w/ me (um, hopped right up there
!).
Before we gave her a bath today...gave her a full inspection - btwn toes, armpits, around tail - you know, the full deal - she just loved all the fawning and sat/laid there, lol. Nothing really of note except these occasional scratches/bumps throughout body...whatever these are (?). But the real ones of note (right now) are on the head. I don't think this is fleas or mites...at least I sure hope not.
Anyway...lol...giving a bath to a BIG dog is NOT the same as a yorkie...note to all
. Wow, she was dirty. Smells so good now
.
So, we gently cleaned her head wounds and put on anti-biotic ointment and *boom*, right after that, they started draining like crazy! I think they are infected and would be turning into abscesses soon...if they aren't already on their way (see pics...this is just a dab of "drainage" here...they are all draining quite a bit now, which is good, really). Once I saw it draining, I put some prescription anti-bio ointment on these areas, which I have on hand....she just sits and lets me do it...I can tell her head is itching her - so that's probably why these wounds keep opening on her (her claws are opening them up). Luckily, the ointment I have on hand also treats staph.
Intermittent paw licking/foreleg itching going on...wouldn't be surprised if this is solely due to her head itching/driving her nuts...we'll see.
She is REALLY FUNNY...a character. Hops around pouncing at stuff. Thinks she is a lap dog. Our boys still have not met her, but when they hear her, they lose their yorkie minds, of course...very dramatic here right now
.
Pics attached of these draining wounds (obvs. needs to see a vet) and her brand new collar. Btw, heard back from Pit Rescue and they are full, of course.
