[Dailydrool] Itchy Colt

[Swartz]

Happy Birthday Fred! I know that your slaves will make your special day very special with lots of treats and belly rubs.

Yesterday I ended up taking Colt to see the vetman.  They love Dr. B and his staff. Anyhoo, Colt's undercarriage was all broke out, still x7 days now, despite all of the benadryl tablets, washing the belly after being outside and the Gold Bond Cream that I have been treating him and Ruger with.  All of this stuff managed Ruger's contact dermititis very well but not Colt's. Colt was broke out on every inch of his underside from nose to butt, including his rump.  He was one misserable hound, and the benadyle was spacing him out bad.  So yesterday we went to the vet for the big guns, Doc gave him a shot for the inflammation, cephalexin (antibiotic) for infection, Temaril-P (anti-histamine) and a anti-itch spray.  Doc & I think that there is something in or near my back yard that is pollenating at this time of year that the boys are allergic to, especially since we had the same thing happen last year, other than it was Ruger that was in the worst shape at that time. Today Colt's underside looks so much better, but the cephalexin  and/or the anti-histamine is giving him gas, and boy does it smell like sulfer.  Whooo doggie, I believe that his gas bombs could compete with Elder Clara.  

I hope that everyone is having a wonderful weekend.  The boyz and I are hiding in the house because the heat and humidity are insane today.  The weather man has a heat advisor out today from noon until 7pm.  Hounds have only been allowed out twice today for 15 minutes or less each time, to do thier business.  Then it is momma getting busy with wiping done the paws, butts and bellys to wipe off any alleren that might be attaching to them.  

NO FIRE STOMP for CA, and a little heat relief for Florida and anyone else that is roasting.

Blessed be & have a wonderful weekend
Michele and the hot & itchy hounds of summer.
Colt & Ruger
