Thanks Gary and Simon. Looks like a beautiful day here in the south.
 

Good morning all. Been up since 3:30am EST. My old dachshund has been hacking around this time every morning past few days. Had him at the vet couple weeks ago for itchy ears and occasional hacking. Turned out to be minor infection. Was treated with a tube of med in each ear to nip it . Also was given allergy med. He’s not scratching/shaking head as much but the hacking has increased. No fever, still playful, no problem eating or drinking, no problem on other end either. He’s 15. Other than grey in the face, reduced sight, barely can hear and considering he was near death a couple years ago with some kinda funk, he is doing great for his age. Loves to play... still strong physically.

My vet sent email... reduced hours and parking lot drop off for emergency and ill pets only I’m trying to decide if I should request a revisit.

Probably gonna call to talk to vet if possible in a couple hours. Problem if vet administers more new in ears if the infection is present, I’m not to bathe him.... I’ve been washing and wiping down/quarantining everything else like amazon packages and anything touched by others.
 

Hope it is something minor and he makes a full recovery.
They are valuable companions.
 

... it’s just me and him during this time. All my peeps are in other states or many miles away. Rural living so it’s just him and my Tom Hanks inspired Wilson exercise ball to talk to. Lol.

.... thank goodness for cell signal, large data plan, and all of you fine folks.
 

Thanks Simon. He’s been with me through a lot of tough times. Never had a more faithful friend.
 

Good morning Tom, Idahodutch, ARC, Simon, GAP, Rook, and the rest of our pirates and piratressess...sssshhhh...those still sleeping.

I'm brewing the coffee as we speak..or type..
ARC you can have your sock back in a minute, it'll be nice And hot...just a little damp.
And there will be a big plate local critter...which ever one wasn't the fastest crossing the road. :dontknow:

WD, prayers added for the prayer chain.I

ARC, don't forget to spray their tents full of skunk spray, maybe throw some local wild life in there too.

They are precious, which you are aware.
