[rubynrosie]

So...my stomach is still lurching. I had Ruby-Sioux into the vet today...just to make sure she wasnt sick..she has had kinda a rattle sound when breathing...vet says maybe a slight upper respiratory infection. Didn't prescribe anything other then we are now sleeping with a humidifier in the room. Since I was there I thought id have her anal glands checked. I've never had a dog need them expressed before but she has been scooting a bit and biting her back end. Sure enough they were full and as they were being expressed the smell travelled over to my nose...OMfreakenG...I almost lost my stomach contents right there in the vets office....horrible horrible horrible. We left and the stench was so bad (the vet cleaned her up as best as she could but...) I had my windows rolled down and the fan going in my car. I decided since we had a 70 mile drive back home I would stop at the pet store...maybe give the girls a break from the stench too...oh lovely Ruby...she preceded to squirt runny poop w the smell of anal gland all over the shopping cart and all over the floor (where a 3.6 pound dog put all that sheet I will never know) I gagged the whole way home...I swear...even after a bath she still reeks...I will never ever be the same again...god how awful!
