by Bonnie Hammond | Feb 14, 2011 | Corona
Quick update on Corona — he is doing very well, on antibiotics now and the vet reports he is very tolerant for his twice-daily chlorahexadine scrubs. She does feel bad for him as he is probably in some amount of discomfort, but she has not felt comfortable giving him…

Tia Update Feb 12 2001
by Bonnie Hammond | Feb 12, 2011 | Tia
Tia seems to have settled down and is no longer agitated as long as she is in her stall, but her left eye is still bothering her quite a bit and very swollen and oozing. She may have banged it during her bout of anxiety, or its possible she is having a uveitis…
