Poor Dogface.
I had to take Charley to the animal ER last night because the bumps on his belly were progressively getting worse. Turns out he has staph pyoderma, a secondary infection caused by something else. Could be that he's allergic to dust, pollen, fertilizer on the grass, fabric softener, etc. The list goes on. To find out the exact cause, I'd have to pay for a lot of tests...don't know if I can afford that. For now, he'll have to have antibiotics for 6-8 weeks, benadryl every day, a topical spray 3x a day, and a special bath/shampoo 3x a week just on his belly.
Talk about high maintenance on a small dog!
Day 4 of All Good Things: I am happy knowing that Charley-dog is going to be ok and that I can afford to take care of the problems he has with his skin. Charley is special and I wouldn't feel as good about life if he weren't in it.
