Adventures in Yeastland

Just when we thought it might be safe to remove the cone of shame from our dog, it apparently wasn’t. Fortunately she only caused herself minimal damage before we placed it back on.

Last night Lucy was looking really good. Her ears were looking better than they had in years thanks to a regimen of hydrogen peroxide cleaning, Otomax, along with the Keto and Cipro pills to fight back the yeast. And so we figured it might be safe to remove the cone. This morning, however, we saw she had rubbed a small patch above one of her eyes and licked her stomach nearly raw again. Alas, the cone had to be put back on. Oh well, we tried.

I suppose that another bath is in order, too. If for no other reason, she should have a bath to remove all of the dead scabs and flaking skin particles, which, thank God, there is hardly anything left. She still has a small scab on her right ear from Friday’s Flappy Fest after her bath triggering a steady and healthy dose of blood to splatter in every which direction. I cleaned up most of it, though part of me wishes I left it there for the bank to decipher after they take back the house.
