Doc’s Day (so far)
1: Worked an hour in the garden
2: Laid in the sun for 80 minutes (the UV rays kick ass on my psoriasis)
3: Came in the house and collapsed (but no sunburn)
4: Ate lunch
5: Used vinegar & alcohol solution on poor Winker’s once again yeast infected ears, in hopes of avoiding another $125.00 vet bill
6: Started sorting thru my old Alarums & Excursions in preparation of selling most of them. Yes, doc_mystery, you’ll get your chance to buy some:)
7: Washed dishes
8: Got a call from the lab about my recent battery of blood tests. Everything (and believe me, my doctor had them test for everything) is ok, except for my prostrate gland output, which is no surprise and is why I recently started taking Doxazosin. Now, I can look forward to Dr. Brown giving me a complete physical soon, hopefully before she has her first baby next month. Oh, and I go see the urologist on the 5th. Shit, it sucks, this aging thing. Next lifetime, it’s the Peter Pan route for me.
9: Powering up for a massive sweep of restaurants tomorrow, in search of a job that I don’t want (restaurant work blows), but cannot afford to refuse.
10: Preparing to do some writing tonight.
More blogging later.

Would Winker benefit from an over-the-counter yeast treatment of the sort normally reserved for womens’ nether regions? Could be a cheap fix if Grace has some stashed away and isn’t all that bad even if you have to go out and get some.
I was thinking the same thing.
Though researching on Google to see what the vet would have prescribed before finding the human analogue would be prudent, too.

Yeah, that would work. However, since it’s mostly just vinegar & water, the homemade stuff works just as well.
Last tiime we took her to the vet, he put her on antibiotics and used some experimental stuff in her ears. He also gave us a fungicidal rinse to use as a preventative, that, in my opinion, was a waste of money.
Grace consulted a slew of doggie websites and the vinegar/alcohol or vinegar/water treatment is at the top of everyones list.
We are also moving Winker to a “no grains” diet, which many sources say can help her body better resist yeast infections.
