Haven't written about Lily for quite some time. She is on the food supplement Dr Ryan recommended, and I am pleased to say she is going very well. On a normal day her back is straight and you can't really tell that there is anything wrong with her rear legs.
Lily is undergoing the long adolescent period, during which she likes to challenge our authority. This period won't pass until she matures at about two years old. We are working on giving her good training, but over the last few weeks she has gone thru a few bog rolls, a couple of my old man's books, and some other small items around the house. She even swallowed some unknown items, which made her threw up and had a pretty bad diarrhoea. Touch wood she has not yet done anything to the furnitures.
Lily's first birthday is approaching. Time to contact the owners of her parents and siblings and see if we'll be organizing anything.
Took Lily to the vet last nite. She has a few "hot spots" on her lower back. It was quite bad. Dr Gerry shaved the hair around that area off and gave us some medicine to put on Lily. He also gave Lily an injection of antibiotics, which should improve the situation within 24 hours. Dr Gerry also introduced us to the Frontline flea control stuff.
No more swimming in Castle Peak Bay for Lily I suppose.
Need to get an electric shaver and give Lily a good shave next week.
