$574.97

$574.97 is the vet bill we just had to pay for yet another operation for Daisy. Over our vacation she had developed some fluid in the inside of her ear. It looked like someone had shoved a water balloon between the flaps in her ear.

So Erin took her to the vet and they said she had an Ear Hematoma and it would have to be drained right away. Not only that but they would have to install a straw in the flap of her ear so fluid can continue to drain a week after the operation.

The operation went fine and Daisy is on the road to recovery. She is acting fine and back to her normal routine of sleeping and eating. This Tuesday the straw comes out and then the next Tuesday the stitches come out.

The biggest pain in the ass has been giving her the antibiotics. We have to hide the pills in food and sometimes she finds them before she eats it. So then we have to try to hide it in another piece of food and so on till she eats it. If she bites into one and shakes her head the powder gets all over the place and it reeks. Yuck!!!!
