Daisy is on steroids. Jock is on benadryl. I am going nuts. It will be at least two more weeks till I find out what is causing Daisy's allergy. Jock is allergic to dust, grass and God know what else. But he seems to do ok with the Benadryl. My free dogs are really costing me money. Daisy is doing better. I took her to David last Monday. I did not give her any benadryl on Sunday night nor Monday morning. David told me to start the steroids on Tuesday morning. By Tuesday morning she was in bad shape. Her nasal passages were so swollen she was having trouble breathing. By Wednesday morning she was better, but a long way from well. I hope this is a food problem, but David does not think so. He is thinking a grass allergy. If so, I will be spraying their huge yard with roundup and spending a ton of money on rocks. Don likes pea gravel, but it tends to get between the pads on their feet and it hurts, so I will go with Arkansas river rock. The rocks are larger but have no sharp edges. All edges are rounded. Like I said, the most expensive free dogs I have ever had.
Duncan is doing fine since I spent the $400 on his teeth. He doesn't see to well. I figured that out when he was failing to find me in the yard. If I am across the yard, he hears my voice, but can't find me. He isn't out much. And never without me and the big dogs. I have a hawk that visits my yard and it could definitely pick up Duncan. It could hurt Jock but he is too heavy for the hawk to pick up. And Daisy just knows if she plays it right, she can catch that hawk. So I watch the little ones really close.
