Diagnosis doggie

[vanillafluffy]

Much to my surprise, because she's a nervy little thing, Rosie traveled very well. Her only lapse was when she barked at the teller in the drive-up window. Teller admired her and sent a biscuit over with my deposit slip, but I didn't give it to her until she calmed down.

The vet gave her a pill and a shot of something that's supposed to be "death to fleas!" (his words), plus drops for an ear infection they diagnosed, flea-be-gone pills for the other dog, and some goo I'm supposed to apply to the back of the cat's neck. Fun times ahead!

I'm glad it's nothing too exotic; a bit inconvenient, but not draconian. It also explains why I've been a bit itchy; I chalked it up to mosquitos, because I haven't actually SEEN any fleas, and I foresee much laundry and vacuuming ahead!

She's so much calmer that I feel guilty for not mentioning it sooner. I thought she was being obsessive, because as I said, she tends to be a little neurotic. She's almost completely stopped chewing at herself, and she's not fighting me much about the eardrops. I'm having to feed the other dog her pills wrapped in cheese, because she won't just take them with her little bone-shaped glucosamine tabs...fine. Velveeta it is.
