Injury on Jack's Left Ear

Hi,

When we woke up this morning, we found Jack's left ear injured and dried blood on it. Some blood was splattered on his nose too.

We were alarmed and after lookiing around the garden, I found some spots of dried blood near the tap and the gate.

No evidence to support exactly what happened but we all concluded tht the culprit is likely to be Ruby as she has bitten Jack's right ear when she first came.

Until today, we are no sure if it was a fight or just a bit rough play. The first time, Jack was crying out loud and got our attention. It bled badly but I managed to stop it and took him to the vet.

We cleaned his ear a bit and put on some medication. We decided to cage Ruby as some form of punishment and also tied up Jack as we did not want him to go to his favourite spot in the garden until his wound is properly dried up and healed.

Luckily, nothing serious.......

Annual Visit to the Vet

Hi,

I took Jack & Ruby to the vet for their annual vaccinations and also some grooming, next door to the vet.

I mentioned to the vet my recent find of a few fleas on their body and that I applied Frontline. He agreed to using Frontline and that it was good that I took action immediately so as to break the flea breeding cycle.

Also, got the vet to check on 2 lumps found around Jack's neck and his front left leg and was told to monitor its growth otherwise no worries at this point in time.

Jack's ear infection seem under control.

Jack was microchipped last Nov and Vet confirmed that Ruby has been microchipped by the first owner by scanning her neck for the chip.

So please remember to bring your dogs for their annual vaccinations for their health and your family well being too.

Jack & Ruby also do not allow me to clip their nails so I have to bring them to the pet shop to do some grooming. Though, in theory, if I walk them often enough their nails should be filed naturally.

Thanks to my buddy, Raymond, for helping me to bring the dogs to and for the clinic.

Fleas on Jack & Ruby

Hi,

I found 2 fleas on Jack when I was brushing him around the neck and under his armpit with my hands.







Well, it came as a surprise as Jack has not have any fleas for the past few years or not that I have found any then. I suspect it could be due to the new routes that I have been walking Jack last week.











So I went to buy Frontline which we have used before and found it very effective. I applied it on both Jack and Ruby too though a body search on Ruby turned up nothing.















But we found 2 fleas in Ruby's crate the following day after applying Frontline. Frontline works by poisoning the fleas and they will die and drop off. Well, I told you Frontline is effective, right!


















So we now need to monitor them closely for any future recurrence and not take it for granted.....


BTW, Frontline is readily available at the pet shops in Singapore but you can also order it online in US, refer to my recommended products in the right column if you need further information.
