This past Saturday was certainly eventful. I had called on friday to make an appointment to get all of our pups into the vet for their shots and to try and get something for fleas. Luckily, they were able to accomodate me very quickly and not only did they give me an appointment for the next day, but they were able to see them all at once, that way we didn't have to come back and forth or split them into different days.
And while it was hectic, to say the least, it was also awesome to get all of my babies taken care of at the same time.
We've had a real problem with fleas this year, and no matter how hard we try and how many baths they get, and no matter how much over the counter medicine we've given them, nothing has seemed to work. Fortunately, they gave all of our boys shots to help with their skin irritation and good meds to take care of the fleas.
My little Tayder has dermatitis. By good fortune, we caught it in time so that it didn't become a serious "problem", but they still gave me antibiotics for him, just in case. Which is helpful, since he also needed antibiotics for his little tooth.
All three of them are also on steroids for precautionary measures to help with their skin. (And all of their shots are up to date).
We took them home, gave all three baths, mediated them, cleaned (I clean basically every day, but we felt that another good cleaning couldn't hurt), and even took the rug out of our living room for good measure. They are all officially feeling much better and are sleeping better than they have in weeks. (Even though Spart is sick, but because he ate something that didn't agree with his belly.... hopefully he'll feel 100% much sooner).
And guess what? They're still the cutest pups in all the land. ❤
