I had to take Abby to the vet today. She was just miserable. She was trying to do that scoot across the floor thing and was whining. Plus, she's got a hurt toe nail that we needed to have them look at.
The rear end thing was just her anal glands needing to be cleaned out. Her toe nail on the other hand is messed up. We've had problems with this before. We thought it had gotten better but in the last few weeks, it has been bothering her again. It's really swollen. The vet gave us some antibiotics for that and cleaned out the anal glands. He also said to have us soak her paw in salt water a couple times a day.
I have to take her back in two weeks for the vet to check her toe again. If it isn't drastically improved they are probably going to have to cut it off. So, we'll see how things go. She seems more comfortable tonight than she has been in the last couple days.
On another note, I am really proud of my kids today. I have not felt all that great today after getting very little sleep 3 out of the past 4 nights. They managed to be quiet enough for me to take a 1 1/2 hour nap this afternoon. Michaela really worked pretty hard on a couple areas in her bedroom, too. It's not as good as I'd do it, but it's A LOT better than it was and she really did more than I asked her to do. Both of them worked hard on vacuuming, too. Caleb even did a much better job making his bed than he usually does. I'm just really proud of them.
