Pip's Progress

veganhotheadI took Pip to see Dr. Clueless yesterday and he confirmed that, yes, poor bebe has earmites.
He tried to sell me on a heartworm pill and shot that was "a little more expensive" than eardrops that would have done the same job. Turns out it would have been about three times the cost, and since the visit itself was already costing me $50 (plus HST) and I had to factor in the cost of two cab rides, I went with the eardrops.
And you'd think he'd have cleaned out Pip's ear since he's supposed to be the vet but no he didn't. If my mind were clearer I would have requested it. He didn't even mention that the ear should be cleaned before starting the drops (fortunately I read the info that came with them).
Pip was not pleased about the cleaning or the drops (neither was Maggie), but he seems to be shaking his head less today and since he got snuggly with me this morning, I assume he doesn't hate me. I keep telling him the drops will make the ickies go away. But all he knows is his ear is feeling bad and Mummy keeps trying to put things in it.
Being a mummy is hard.
