Friday Furuncleblogging
---
Diamond has developed a case of interdigital furuncles on one of her paws.
Nothing life-threatening. In fact she can walk, run and jump perfectly well.
She is on Clavamox, but there is still a 50-50 chance that she will need surgery.
On the other hand, the surgery is minor — not even general anesthesia — just lots of lidocaine and a strong sedative that knocks her out for 15 minutes. Then snip-snip, stitch-stitch, cone, home.
She also developed a yeast infection in one ear. Apparently it is not at all uncommon for the two problems to occur simultaneously, and suggests allergies. Though I can't imagine to what after three years with me.
Stay tuned.
