Hi everyone, sorry I've been so quiet for so long. I just thought I'd give you a quick update on my lovely girl and boy. Poppy has been allergic to something and has chewed two patches of fur off her back. I contacted Clare Rusbridge who said it would be unlikely to be her CM and more likely to be anal glands or allergies. So we went to the vet. The first cause the vet thought of was a flee allergy but she doesn't have flees. The next cause might have been anal glands which have been emptied twice. One side was a little tender so she had antibiotics with no improvement to the biting. I decided it might be the air fresheners in my house and, removing them, seems to have improved things by 99%. To replace the air fresheners, I used a few drops of lavender in the water I used to wash the floors and that's what triggered Dylan's conjunctivitis. I took him to the vets and discovered he has severe dry eye now. He scored about 2 on the dry eye test after a whole minute. He rubbed his eyes and gave himself an ulcer (not a bad one) so he's keeping me busy with drops and the cone of shame! He's bored silly because he can't play fetch with the cone on and he likes to play with me all day. And me...well I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia as well as M.E. so I'm pretty much in pain everyday now but getting lots of help from the rehab clinic.
Poor poor Dylan
