Rodney, a sheltie, came in over the weekend for a bad skin infection. He came back today because it had gotten worse. We had to shave his entire left side about 4 inches wide behind his shoulders and about half way down on his right side. After we shaved, we cleaned it with Malaseb shampoo and applied NeoPredef to the area. He was already on antibiotics and pain medication from the weekend so there was no need to prescribe any more.

Sizzle a Russian blue DSH came in for a feline leukemia vaccine, which I gave transdermally.

I held Teddy a Tibetan terrier for an exam, and then I drew the heartworm/Lyme test, which I also ran and it was negative.

I cleaned and folded laundry and also read a rabbit text book since there were a lot of no show appointments.

Quinton, another sheltie, came in because he had a lot of fecal matter stuck to the fur around his butt. Linda shaved around his butt and cleaned it with some shampoo. I attempted to express his anal glands, but his butt was so tender I couldn’t without hurting him extremely. We applied Dermogen to his butt and sent him home.

Hattie, a golden retriever came in for an ear check and we cleaned her ears and applied some Dermogen.

Linda and I did our end of night duties, and went home.
