This is why you can’t give a two year old clippers: (click for large version)
Okay, so Quincy didn’t really give Ashby a buzz cut on his side. Ashby is getting older. He’s now 8.5 years old. Just like in people, older dogs can get various lumps and bumps. Ashby had a large cyst on his side that conveniently burst open late Sunday night. A trip to the vet on Monday got him shaved up and cleaned up. Dara and I have been cleaning his open wound regularly and now it looks much better. Ashby will only take his antibiotic in peanut butter.
Quincy, when he sees the wound, always says, “Ashby, boo-boo”. He has been good to leave that area of the dog alone, thankfully. On a side note, Ashby is off the prozac due to him throwing up all the time on our rug. And I need to find a new vet for him – I’m very unhappy where we have been going. So, now I have an unmedicated dog with an open wound at home. Yeah, I think we’re done cleaning it for a while.
