Internet Tails - Part 8 - 'SYMPATHY PLEASE!'
Ohhh yeeeesssss! I think I have it….. Yes YES….that’s better
“Jake Stop it!”
Oh boy I was just managing to stop that damn itch!
That’s how life has been over the last week. I’ve been itching so badly! The only way I have found to ease the pain is to have a good scratch and a nibble. However, I now have found the downside of my own pain relief…..I have a bald patch and big red patches all over my back and down near my bits!
I don’t know how it started, but it has been hell over these last few days. Mum thought I had fleas. But, she checked me over, couldn’t find anything. She was a little confused as she does treat me all the time for fleas to make sure that I don’t get them.
You see, when they 1st adopted me I had alopecia which was caused by a flea infestation, so now I get my ‘Frontline’ every 2 months without fail! She gave me an early dose of it…NOPE, that didn’t work. She put me in a t-shirt to stop me scratching…ummm….NO, that didn’t help! So in the end I was told I needed to see the doggie doctor! Ahhhhhhhhhh!
Today Dad took me to see the doggie doctor. When I got in there I was offered a treat. I declined as I don’t accept treats from strangers, and to be honest I really wasn’t in the mood for eating….I just wanted the itching to stop!
The doctor checked me over, had a good look at my injuries and then had the nerve to stick his finger up my BUM! I mean, how on earth did he think that would help? Apart from taking my mind off the itching coz my bum was now sore I really have no idea!
Anyway, after the shock of all that, he decided to stick 2 pins in my neck then put a lampshade on my head, telling Dad that I had an infection….Genius!
Now tell me, have you every tried to walk around with a plastic lampshade on your head?!!! Its not easy. I must have bumped into everything on my way to and from the car! I couldn’t even take a nap in comfort, PLUS how stupid do you think I looked???!!! Not exactly a fashion accessory I can tell you!
So, that’s it - the itching…..still there…. PLUS now…. its worse! I have to wear this head gear to stop me from having a nibble. I have to have cold cream rubbed into my sore bits twice a day…PLUS they tell me I have to go back to see the doggie doctor again on Friday. I wonder what part of my body he’ll probe this time!!
In a word, I feel MISERABLE…REALLY UNCOMFORTABLE…. all I want is to feel normal again…. will that EVER happen???
