Wishes and the Vet


You've got a complication, palpitation of the badilla-dilla, with a wicky wacky savvy of a floy joy! In other words, Wishes.....you're allergic! That's right, poor little Wishes had an allergic reaction to something unknown, and had bumps and hives all over her body. This caused some swelling in her limbs, and pustules to burst on the surface of her skin, leaving her rather grumpy and uncomfortable. Dr. Schur from Desert Pines, came out to check her out, and found she also has a heart murmur! When it rains, it pours. Hopefully, the heart murmur won't be anything major, but I need to keep an eye on it and make sure she doesn't show signs of distress when I'm working her. Anyway, the doc gave her a couple of shots and instructed me to give her some steroids for the next few days, and scrub her body well with some medicated shampoo. As you can see from the photos, she just rolls in the dust as soon as I'm finished washing her, so she never looks clean and shiny.
