We had our vet visit on Friday. It went well, she has improved a lot. Her feet are much better, her eyes aren't infected, her ears are better but not great. There is still infection but the swelling is down more and they look better. There's still creamy stuff on her ear drum ?? She put a cotton ball on a clamp and wiped way down in her ear with it. I said I don't do that and I hope don't need to because I don't want to hurt her. She said I shouldn't so that was a relief. Her ears were so swollen at first I didn't even know where her ear canal was, so it's a big improvement there and I'm very happy about that! Her skin looks great and the nurse commented that she smells good now and that she was unbelievably stinky before. I tend to get myself into things I can't handle and I was afraid that's what I did with Macon but I feel so proud and such relief that she's doing so much better. They're going to do her entropian and mouth surgery in 2 weeks. They're also going to look at her ears and try to clean them good while she's under. Im terrified but I thinks it's the right thing to do.
Things with the boys are interesting. I put Rootbeer out and let her be with Clyde and they've become much more cordial. There is still an occasional tiffy but it's the normal dog mouth talking. I took them for walk around the yard, that was the best I could do right now. It was a little difficult because she's so slow and Clyde is a spaz. They were fine together, other than her being annoyed at the jerking. Lol Then I brought them all back together for the weekend. The boys didn't gang up on her and she's pretty well put them in their place. I think she may have become the boss. She doesn't back down and she pretty much just took over. She does the funniest thing! When her and Rootbeer get into an argument she barks up in his face until he backs off, then spins her butt to him and it's like she's saying "now kiss my ***" I am sure this means something but I couldn't help but laugh. It's such a relief to see them get along. I have no doubt it will get better now.
