Bode Drama!

I had to take Bode in to the vet on Saturday because he has been licking his paws, to the point that there is no longer any fur! Thursday night, his little paws were red and swollen, so I made an appointment. It turns out that the has a yeast infection in all four paws, and bilateral ear infections! He must have a high tolerance for pain because the vet said she couldn't even get her tool down in his ear! He hadn't whined or even shook his head like he should have with ear infections. He got a big shot in his hip and is now on 2 different ear drops and 2 antibiotics. I have to wait until the infections have cleared to get his shots up to date! His breed is known to have allergies and we moved him to the allergy country! The vet said dogs allergies flare up in their ears and feet! He is acting completely normal...chasing his ball and fighting with Scooter and Daisy. So hopefully in 2 weeks, everything is back to normal for Bode!
