More Medical Issues

As unbelievable as this is, I spent yet another afternoon seeking medical assistance. We have two more family members on antibiotics. We have officially had someone on antibiotics since March 18 and now, we have another week of antibiotics. The illness this time is in the dogs.

Yep, both of our dogs are sick. Can you believe it? I won't go into details, but suffice to say I have scrubbed enough carpets over the past two days to seek intervention. Now both of my dogs are on a special diet until their tummies improve, they are taking antibiotics and we are waiting to hear it is not something more serious than indiscriminant eating.

I don't know what is worse, giving a kid antibiotics or giving a dog antibiotics. Neither task is pleasurable. While it is most likely nothing serious in our younger dog, during the exam, the vet found something unrelated to the current symptoms, yet potentially serious in our older dog. At 12.5 years old, she is considered geriatric, so it could be anything.

For now, it is rice and cottage cheese meal for both dogs and more pills to dispense for me.
