piggie goes to the doctor

As we all have learned over Millie Jean's 19-month life, thus far, is that she was bought at a discount price but that in no way mirrored what was in store for us.  She's had her fair share of vet-visits but her delightful behavior and cute little face just make it all worth it. 

But this time it isn't just her seasonal allergies that are under attack (and mine too!) but, just like any other dog that has those precious floppy-ears - - she gets ear infections!!  So, what was an inner ear-infection that she scratched at, it is my un-veterinarianly trained butt that thinks she has an aural hematoma.

Thanks, Google!  We are all so smart (or dumb!) because of Google! Genious though.

I'm off to take her to the doctor to see if my diagnosis was correct.  The aural hematoma is like a little bubble of blood that forms because of her scratching and hurting her blood vessels in the cartlidge of the ear.  It sounds dead-on to the little bubble in her cutesy ear! I feel so bad for her! She is a tough cookie to say the leat - she's pouncing the floor with her leash dragging from her neck.  Her green leash on her blue collar - we're tomboys!

peace & love

get well soon, millie :)
