First, he got a hot spot on his head that got infected. We had to go to the vet where they diagnosed him with wet eczema, likely from all of the rain and his little wet head! He had to have a patch on his head shaved, steroid injection, and anti-biotic cream. Horror.of.horrors. he got stuck in a cone:
As you can imagine, he has not been pleased, so he has spent a lot of time sitting on my lap this week. I call the below photo my true "work-life balance" photo:
Despite lots of love and affection this week, Alfie has not been feeling well. So this morning, we decided to cheer him up with a ride in his new car seat and a walk at a beautiful spot in the Dales. Here we are, on our way:
Note that his tongue is out... about 15 minutes into the drive, he couldn't stop panting or shaking. He was clearly unwell, so we spent the afternoon at the emergency vet. Unfortunately, his episode earlier this week, made him vulnerable and he got another infection. Poor guy is on anti-biotics for the next week and is clearly feeling down (though the shivering and panting has stopped!). Woof Woof. Here's hoping he continues to feel better, so he can enjoy afternoons in the window and breakfasts at outdoor cafes with us!
Love this guy so much!
