Mom discovered Sunday night that I was scooting on my hiney. No - I don't have anal gland issues. It feels good to scratch my stitches itch. Carpets are abrasive and we have wall-to-wall carpeting here.
Monday morning, mom called the vet and sadly, he was not available to talk with today. We searched the intermutts and they suggested Benadryl, which mom would never do as we don't know how that would react with my prescription drugs that I'm taking post surgery. The other suggestion was a diaper.
Mom was out on her errand on Monday and she decided to buy a package of diapers. Geez, she didn't need 16 of them! We did find directions about how to put them on me and to cut a hole for my tail to stick out of.
To make a long story shorter - the diaper slide off my shiny slippery furs in about ten minutes.
And because the diaper didn't work, mom still has my scooting issue to scratch my itch issue to deal with. Once again, I will be hearing a lot of, "Stop that, Duke". We will be talking with my vet today and hopefully, he will come up with the perfect plan.
The one good thing that did happen - I got one of my squeaky balls back☺
Thank you all so very much again for all of the wonderful get well wishes. I sure hope I'm healing with all of this other crazy stuffs going on.
Love ya lots♥
Duke
