Poor Little Parker


Little buddy seen here lounging has been a touch under the weather lately. After chomping off 1/4 of his hind paw, my roommate took him to the vet. Once there, the little guy had to submit to various forms of medical humiliation (who knew temperature taking could be so degrading). At the end of the examination (performed by a French vet) we learned that he has an in-fess-i-on in his paw and one in his private parker parts!

Sooo, needless to say Parker was unable to leave the humiliation behind in the vet's office. This is not Vegas, what happens at the vet does not stay there, but rather comes home and needs to be repeated twice daily. My roommate has been playing the role of vet on this one and Parker's paw and his, you know.... have been getting thorough, twice daily cleanings. Tools involved: soap, syringe, ointment, plastic baggie, and hair dryer.

Parker has already become quite agile maneuvering on all three legs but we are all looking forward to a speedy recovery.
