Oh no Arte The poor girl. How old is she?

While speaking of dogs, we found out what the problem is with my dog. She's got a badly infected sore on her foot. It can happen sometimes when she's running in the paddock and treads on a rock or stick but it usually heals itself. Luckily we have some penicillin here for the ewes when they lamb and we can give it to the dog too, so last night DH had to cover her head with a blanket and hold her down while I jabbed her and then scrubbed her sore clean with dettol and boy did I feel bad for doing it. We thought she'd try to bite us when we let her go, but she just sat there a little stunned. We need to give her another 2 doses, but I don't know if she will trust us again to do it. She seems OK today though so it might have helped her.
