Our home away from home....the vet

It started as a simple task...Jonathan asked me to stop by the vet to get a refill of Chief's medication. But after talking to the vet, he decided that he needed to see Chief again to check his ears. (His last visit showed a yeast infection and two different bacteria infections in each ear...not to mention an overgrowth of yeast on his belly and between his toes). So I ran home and got Jonathan and Chief and we went back to the vet (luckily it is just down the road). He looked at his ears and decided that the medications weren't working fast enough and that the special shampoo was drying out his skin. So now, we get to give Chief shots of the antibiotic under his skin (he is really going to love that). He was getting pretty testy with the vet, but they scoped his ears with a camera and we got to see all the way down his ears. They were disgusting!!!! And we felt pretty bad for not doing better about cleaning them. So a quick stopped turned into a whole night of events.

However, it wasn't a total loss because I did get another Christmas pick. Chief looks like he is ready to get out of there.
