Damummis'- Auf wiedersehen

[Damummis]

Just got back from the vet. Poor Spikie dog has mange.
I know I shouldn't laugh but I can't help it. MANGE!! Ol' Mange Puppy Spike.


Still waiting for Thelma Sheep to pop. She is big and uncomfortable. Poor thing.

It isn't so bad. Demodectic?

 

[Damummis]

sarcoptic

Well the world won't end. I think that word mange just sounds bad. Like the word "ringworm".....it conjures a picture.

What are they having you do for it?

 

[Damummis]

Ivermectin injections 10 days apart for 3 injections. Thank heavens I had the Iverm. Benadryl for the itching.

I did have a OCD moment and vacuumed the house and his bed is in the wash. Now I can't stop itching.

Maybe we need to treat you the same? Whose going to hold her for me so I can give her a shot of ivermectin?

Make the rain stop!!! I am going to have to build an ark. Clients are yelling at me cause their gardens are not done. I can't weed and mulch in the rain and they are in Florida or some other warm place and they just don't get it.

The animals are going stir crazy. Thelma is being a stubborn 8itch and still hasn't lambed. I am wondering if she is even pregnant.

Spike won't stop itching. I gave him a bath today with a peroxide and borax rinse. Let's see if that works.

Oh, Yeah, I almost forgot. Old farmer ben is getting his karma. I noticed that he posted some piglets on CL, he posted his phone #. I posted a buyer beware. Nothing harsh, just a small warning. The next day someone else posted a long scathing ad that called ol' ben out. Boy, I couldn't have been happier to see that I wasn't the only one. Of course they have been flagged but if I saw it I am sure others have too.

The goats are doing great. Healthy looking coats, playing, frolicking and being a handful. Love the goats.

Esther is getting big fast.

What a cutie!!!

Other than that I have been working my butt off in the rain and cold. Someone please send sun. I don't care that I am a redhead and I fry, I am sick of longjohns and wool socks!!!

DD#2 is thinking about running for Miss Teen Maine. I will keep you all posted on that. DD#1 is talking to me so that is a bonus. And DH rocks as usual.

I feel like I have no time to keep up with everyone here but I think of you all often.

TTFN

Same here. If I spend time on here, I don't get anything done. And, if I get stuff done, I don't get to spend time on here. What a dilemma to face!

 

[savingdogs]

We have sun! Maybe it will make its way over there.....

I'm sure Farmer Ben's karma will get him in the end, whether you find out about it or not.
