Abby

I had to take Abby to the vet Sunday night.  I am so glad I use this vet.  I can get someone 24/7 and they are reasonable and good.  Well, Abby had an impacted anal gland.  The vet checked her over, said her heart murmur was still with her but her lungs were clear and she was looking good.  She is so used to this procedure, she did not even make a sound while he drained that anal gland. Don said he was going to teach me how to do this.  No, that's ok.  I'll just pay him to do it.  Other than this, we really have a flea problem this year.  Coming off a  couple of really bad years as far as drought and then having a really wet spring has brought out the fleas with a vengence.  I am using Confortis along with Advantage.  Or I had been.  Now I am using Confortis and spraying with Adams weekly.  They are still bad.  I may have to spray the yard and I hate to do that.  However, I do have wildlife in my yard.  I have rabbits, coons, possums and squirrels.  I have not seen any coyotes yet, but I have been told they are in the neighborhood.  We have several wooded lots and plenty of places for them to hide out.
