So life in general doesn't suck too much, just a few points of this week. Let's take this first example oh because i love to share animal stories, my old dog aka non friendly dog okay so i have two unfriendly dogs, get used to it. The old dog has been losing weight again, so much my dad commented i think your dog is sick ---first off when did he become "my dog", second what am i supposed to do about it? Literally take some crap of his and get it tested for worms. Now where i used to work i would take in a sample and if needed they sent me home with drugs...the vet i use for the goats have never seen him in the office only on farm calls and let's just say he's not friendly towards them. They questioned me on the phone about seeing him (and he is NOT FRIENDLY!) and i gave them the speech i know it's worms ---well how do you know, let's take a look at what he eats kitty treats, raccoon treats, well any kind of treats. So i got permission to bring in a crap oh i mean stool sample. Low and behold it's worms....gee i wouldn't have thunk. Now onto the solution or i mean drugs that i have to give him. Last year it was pills, stick them in a can of dog food, done. Not this time, no it couldn't be simple it has to be difficult. Not one nor two but THREE syringes of wormer medication for three fricken days, lovely. I asked can i put them in a can of dog food, oh no cuz he probably wouldn't eat it. great. So i come home with the syringes and stuff for the goats (you know the medications i put off getting cuz i love spending a chunk of money at once lol), i told dad i was going out to medicate the old man. Now this is the fun part getting him to take the medication. I have drenched him before, so im like no need for a muzzle. m.i.s.t.a.k.e. I got half of the 24 CC aka over an ounce of white liquid shit down his gullet but he ran away, no problem got him back and he chomped on my pinkie finger and put a hole in my shorts. NO TEARS, just cussing like a sailor, and i got the muzzle out and muzzle his happy ass and shoved the rest down. So for two days muzzle and drench. My pinkie will survive or so i hope.
While at the vet's im like the young dog needs a rabies shot, so i have an appt on wednesday, which i have told them just a rabies shot and the dog stays in the back of the truck with a muzzle on cuz he doesn't walk on a leash. Fun times should be had by all involved.
