Under The Weather

Over the weekend Abby seemed to be developing a problem with tapeworms. (She says it feels like an ongoing problem,even though we keep Advantage on her!) Since I had the day off Monday; I thought I could get her into the V-E-T. Well four hours later we did get in. She cried all the way to the Vet, but she was really REALLY a good girl once we got there. She didn't like it when the tech took her back to give her the deworming medicine and when she came back in, she climbed literally up my shoulder and onto my back. She walked around my left shoulder to my right and then down my back. She was trying to get back into her carrier. She got back into the carrier and didn't want to come out when the Vet came in to give her yearly shots. ( Can't blame her there!)In fact she kept climbing up onto my shoulder while the Vet was trying to examine her. Once we got everything accomplished she was happy to head back home. But; between the deworming medicine, the Advantage and her two shots, she was not feeling too well. This picture was taken after we got home yesterday. She didn't eat too much and all she wanted to do was sleep. She was very sedate all evening. This morning as I got up, she wasn't waiting for me like she normally does and she was not perky once I started getting breakfast ready for everyone. She ate only sparlingly; but she did eat something. I cuddled with her for as long as I could this morning; but she just wasn't her normal self. Once my husband got up; Abby walked into the bathroom where he was starting to get ready and he reached down to pet her and she snapped at him and then sauntered off to run into Ping and give him his orders this morning. Now that was more like Abby!
