fooshuman Posted July 22, 2006 Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 As some of you know, i am in the middle of a mange attack. All 6 dogs have been dipped and seperated. Hope was dipped the same day i learned she had mange. She has been away from the rest of the pack since. She is crated or leashed with me away from everyone else. (about 1/2 every 2 or 3 hours) Well today i dipped the remaining 5. They have all been seperated. (God i cannot escape the dog whines, both houses are echoing with the crys for freedom) I myself am worn out, I got paradip in my eys, nose, mouth, ears, and covered a good 40% of my body. That stuff is nasty stuff! Anyway I started to rotate them in 45 minute shifts. Hope, because she has been locked away the longest gets first dips out being in the yard. I let her out, took a shower, brushed my teeth, and rinsed. I can still taste and smell paradip! (Darn unexpected shakers) I look outside expecting to see Hope running around playing but this is what i saw. I swear she is the mellowest BC i've ever met!

RaisingRiver Posted July 22, 2006 Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 Well, I bet when she starts feeling better and her skin isn't so itchy, she'll have more energy... watch out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSmitty Posted July 22, 2006 Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 Yeah, I agree. She probably doesn't feel well, and the dip could be making her feel worse. Once the mange is gone and the dipping done, I'm sure she'll perk up. I just love her. I'm so happy you're taking care of her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jo&Tex Posted July 22, 2006 Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 Have you moved into your car yet? Thats one way to escape dippy smells and unhappy doggies. Were you able to figure how old she might be? Keep up the good work. You're FooSUPERhuman to us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fooshuman Posted July 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 Senseless errr um Jo heheh she is around a year old. I'm sure she will pep up once she isn't so itchy. I really look forward to having all 3 of the BC's able to play with eachother. I know my two will help teach her how to play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
