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!

Rocket got a biscuit from the teller the other day. He thought that was wonderful. :) He was being a good boy at the time, and she happened to see his head silhouetted in the car window.

I don't know if your pet-sitting clients left you any money for essentials, but Raid Flea Spray is pretty good stuff and doesn't stink up the house. When the cats got fleas a few years ago, I pulled the cushions off the sofas, vacuumed them and sprayed them good all over with the Raid. Between that and the stuff from the vet, the little bloodsuckers disappeared fairly quickly.

At least the treatment for fleas is easier than for ticks--hope you stop scratching (and the dog!)

Commiseration on the itchies, but YAY Rosie for being a good dog. :)
