Sick Sadie ~ Sick Mommy!

Well this last few weeks have not been good in the Mills houshold! First last week Sadie, our Doxie, keept rubbing her eye. So off to the Vet we went. She had a grass seed in her eye! That had scratched her cornia! Some ointment and $40.00 later she is doing well! Then mom's eye's started itching. We went to the doctor and she has Bleforitus which is an iritation of the eye lids/lash line. The doctor said to scrub her eye lids with Baby Shampoo and put an ointment on. There goes another $40.00! Then last week we noticed some lumps on Sadie's back and side. She kept on biteing them and when they got big I squized one and some bloody-pus stuff came out so off to the vet again! When we got there he took one look and started squizing one of the sores. Out came some more bloody pus then this capsoul and a bug! Yes my little baby had a fly larva in her! Actually 2! The vet thinks that the other one had already developed to the point where it hatched! The Vet said that this fly is unuasual but Sadie's was the second one he had seen this week! He said that she could have picked up the fly eggs anywhere and they are so small that we couldn't see them. The eggs enter the blood stream and then ride the blood until it gets close to the skin and stops! The Larva then drills a little hole so it can come up for air! So more anitbotics for Sadie dear and another $40.00 spent at the Vet! Hopefully we will be healthy for a while!
