I'm hoping things will be back to normal soon and Beau will be just fine.
I have to tell you, when I first read the title of your post, I was horrified. I thought Beau's leg was left at the vet. Geez. I need new glasses.
Now that you are alone, do you kinda feel like a frontier wife?
Offer still stands - if you need anything in the lower 48, holler and I'll try to find it for you.
Don't know. No.
Gidge has been fighting them for about 2 years now. We take her once a month to have them hulled. She went from having them on two feet to all four. Amazingly enough, this past month we went 6 weeks instead of 4 and she actually seems to be getting better.
I've been watching Deadliest Catch (about fishermen in the Bering Sea) and there was an episode where the Coast Guard had to med evac one of the captains who was ill. Who knows, Jeff, we may see you on the tube!!!
Gidge gets fish oil or flax oil capsules every day. We also add a little fish to her morning meal - sardines or salmon or jack mackerel (stinks) or tuna. PetCo sells a shampoo called NovaPearls. It is wonderful. It has lanolin in it and is for very dry skin.
