It's always Something! Kids Health issues

Now that Thanksgiving is behind us, we've got new health issues for two of our canine kids: Franklin
and Dolly.  Tyler is fortunately healthy.
   FRANKLIN FOOT - Franklin has an infected paw again, something that happens every 6 months or so. He licks between two of his toes and it gets infected, then develops a blood blister. That means cleaning it with hydrogen peroxide twice a day, and applying antibiotic ointment, bandaging it, and putting on his "snow boot" so he won't lick it. I've been doing that for the last five days, and will continue to do it.

  DOLLY'S EYE ISSUE - Tom noticed Saturday morning that Dolly was squinting her left eye, and we noticed it was tearing. So, we called the vet and took her in.   She developed another corneal ulcer on the surface of the eye (as she had this past July). This one is small, and was detected by the vet after putting in colored eye drops. So, Dolly is on antibiotic eye drops, another eye drop and pain medicine. If it doesn't heal, we'll be going to the doggy opthamologist to get treatment (which is medication under a temporary contact lens - as we did in July).

Fortunately, Tyler is healthy and his normal terror self. He came to the vet this morning and barked and barked at the other dog in the waiting room.
