[nagdu] The vet visit

[Applebutter Hill]

Daryl,
Well, it stands to reason that, if she's uncomfortable (as she would be with
an infection and an allergy), she would tend to be more on edge. Hope the
meds and spring settles her down.

So Jenny's barking at people on her left was REALLY bad today *sighs* This
seems to only be outside and/or when she is resting or sitting down.

Figured enough was enough and took her to the vet today.

There is nothing overtly problematic with her eyes, but she is incredibly
itchy, and has been scratching the left side of her face; the vet did notice
a slight discoloration, and Jenny obliged by scratching three times in a
fifteen-minute period.

We also got a blood workup done to see if there is something internally
wrong, and think we may have found the early stages of a bladder infection.

So, long story short, she is on benedril twice a day for a couple of days to
see if that helps with the itchies; she is also on an antibiotic for two
weeks to see if that clears up the bladder infection.

The medical stuff may or may not cause the barking, but there IS something
medically up with my dog.  It does stand to reason that the sharp increase
in barking is in direct correlation with the onset of the spring thaw.  It
isn't overly serious, I suppose, but it would be awesome if that takes the
edge off!

Wish us luck!

Daryl
