Daisy

Well, it looks like I am finding that money for Daisy now.  She popped an infection last night.  She did not wake me up this morning.  I got up at 6am to let them out, wondering why Daisy had not gotten me up at 4am as usual.  I found out.  She did not even want to go outside.  She finally did, but did not stay out to bark or explore.  When I fixed their food, she just looked at it.  That just does not happen with Daisy.  I usually fix the food with her ratteling the windows with her bark.  I usually have to fight her off Missy's food.  Not today.  Her nose is swollen, she won't leave her crate.  She would not even leave it to get on the couch.  Definitely not Daisy.

I called the vet.  He wants me in tomorrow morning for blood work and to get her on an antibiotic, but I really think I will take her in today.  It will cost me an emergency visit, but I really think she needs to be seen today.  My four legged friends always get sick on a weekend after noon on Saturday because that is what time the clinic closes on Saturday.  The vet seems to think it is an allergy to grass.  Maybe.  I keep the grass cut really short in their yard and there is  not much grass to begin with.  There is no grass under the Bradford Pear tree and that tree covers most of the yard.  The shade under that tree is really dense.

All my pets suffer allergies.  Duncan sneezes all the time and Jock has to have Benadryl  almost every day.
