Fleas and ticks are returning

     As the days are warming up now that it's spring, we have already been finding fleas and some ticks on several of our doggies. We are just waiting to be able to pay off our vet bill so we can order some Frontline flea/tick killer for all of our doggies. Hopefully this will be soon, as the problem is going to get worse as the days get warmer and warmer.

Goldie watches Jeff scratching Johnny's chest and belly during caregiving rounds. This is the time our caregivers search for fleas on the dogs.

 

Bobby's been chewing on his sores

     We have been doctoring some sores on Bobby's back leg, and we can see that he has been chewing on these sores, making them infected. Bobby wasn't really happy to be doctored, but he still took his cookie treats after the doctoring was finished.

Tina looks at the sore on the inside of Bobby's back right foot.

Juana cleans the sores.

The sores are cleaned with a saline solution.
