Paws Crossed for Annie

Our week starts with Taylor's neck looking better, but Annie isn't feeling well. Annie's back foot is swollen and she's refusing to put weight onto it.  Because we live about 50 minutes away from our vet, and I only work 20 minutes from their office, I took Annie with me to work today so I could take her in when they had an appointment.  We're now doing a foot soak for Annie, giving her pain medication and an antibiotic to help get rid of the infection.  Added to this is my concern about her lack of appetite since Sunday morning and her not wanting to drink much water or munch on ice which she enjoys as much as her meals.  Also worrying me is that Annie is having waves where she can't seem to stop shivering.  I'm keeping her covered up and just really hoping that it's all related to the infection and pain she may be having in her foot, and that she'll feel better sooner rather than later.  Paws crossed.

  16. They always say "A mother is only as happy as her unhappiest child." Well, I think it applies to our dogs as well.
