I have to wear the lampshade!!!

I have been having this ear ache for the last couple of days. Mummy was wondering why I was worrying my ear so much so she took me to the vet this morning. (Shudder! Horrors!) And true enough I have a horrible bacterial infection in my ear.

I was jabbed with this cruel needle. The vet says its a long acting pain killer so I won't feel the infection so much. And then worst of all, I had to have my infected ear cleaned. All I can say is that I didn't give the vet an easy time with it. It took 2 big hoomans to hold me down. They even had to put a muzzle on me because I was ready to bite. It was so awful.

Anyway, now I have to take these anti-biotics for 2 weeks and my ear has to be cleaned everyday by Daddy. I don't mind so much about the anti-biotics. Mummy always puts my medicine inside a small sausage and gives it to me. She thinks I don't know that the medicine is inside. To humour her, I eat the sausage with no complaints!! Hee! Hee!

But frankly the worst part of it all is that I have to wear the dreaded lampshade for about 2 weeks. I hate the thing. I feel so clumsy with it. And Toto won't leave me alone. He thinks its really funny to see my misery.

Don't I look pitiful?

Hi, Scruffy.
I understand you. I had to wear that cone twice! That left me with no fur around my neck! I understood that wearing that thing was the best for me.
Sure it will help you to get better soon.

Have a nice day
