I took Danny to the Vet this morning. He seems to have an inflammation of the abdomen. It could be in his pancreas, liver or stomach. All three are treated with the same antibiotic. I knew there was no way he would take a pill so the Vet gave me a liquid form. That was fun trying to get the syringe into his mouth. I even coated it with jellified chicken broth. It was hard to keep one hand on his harness, one on the syringe and one trying to open his mouth. He had two medicines to take that way. I finally got it down him. He has to get it twice a day. Now he knows what's coming he will be harder than ever.
It was very hot today; it may have reached 100. My neighbor across the street is elderly and doesn't put on her air conditioner. She says she can't afford it. She has an older trailer and no shade at all. It must have been like an oven in there. I invited her to come to my house but she wouldn't come. She said she'd be all right. I offered her my fans that I have in the shed but she said she has three going. I just checked on her and she is OK. The thunder started while I was talking to her and Danny made a bee line for home. He is hiding under the computer desk. When he came in, he looked all over for a place to hide. I guess he wanted to hide near me as he followed me around the house until I opened the computer room door and he ran in under the desk. The rain should cool things down a little. It's only 'sposed to go to 91 tomorrow.
I did some small loads of wash this afternoon. I did a load of reds and a load of darks. That was about it for today.
Thanks for sending your good wishes for Danny. I hope this clears up and it is nothing more serious. The Vet said little dogs have short legs so an infection in the abdomen area will affect their walking and climbing up and down.
