Kash has been out of work for a couple of weeks now. He has a growth on his side. It swelled up really big and the hair fell out in chunks and then it started oozing. Awesome. At his 2nd vet visit they put a cone on his head. He is very clumsy with it on but he has still figured out how to lick a small portion of the boo-boo.
He is supposed to be taking an antibiotic. But being a trained drug detector, he is not fooled by any of the normal pill-hiding techniques. If you put the pill in a hot dog, he will eat the hot dog and spit the pill back out. Konrad has also tried feeding it to him with peanut butter and some sort of pork treat. None of those work. He's very talented. What we are doing now is wrapping it in lunch meat. I think the reason this is working is because he doesn't actually chew the meat slice, he just inhales it and fortunately swallows the pill that is wrapped inside of it.
He is not enjoying his days off. He has been banished from the house because of the drainage. Konrad set up a place for him in the barn and he has access to the outside. Once he stops being a mess he'll be allowed back in. Kash is not happy about this.
He had a 3rd vet visit this week. They drew fluid off of the site and though he is getting better, he will be off duty for two more weeks.
