My puppy had a bad day. I took her to the vet and was told she had heat spots. That meant having her fur trimmed way down, especially where the wounds are. Then they put a cone on her to stop her from getting at her wounds. Now we have to follow the course of treatment and hopefully she'll be back to normal in a few days. In the meantime, cream for her wound, special shampoo for bath, special food for the next 4 days.What worries me is she's shivering. At first I figured maybe it's because she lost her coat but she's shivering even when wrapped up. She's very warm to the touch - but then dogs have a higher body temp than us.Fortunately her nose is cold and wet not dry. If she stays like that today, I'm calling the vet.
At best I would say she's mad at me and that is why she has retired to her bed and turned her back rather than staying next to me on the bed like normal. She really wants me to take the cone off but that that's a no-go til she's better. I tried it and she immediately went for her wounds so no.
I can't wait for her to be better.
