This is where we went for the Thanksgiving weekend. The color of the trees was just perfect!!

My Nikki got a bad case of fleas. I missed giving Nikki her medicine one month and took her up north for the Thanksgiving weekend.

Yesterday I noticed that she would rarely get up, but when she did, she would run as if she was being chased by something…then sit down again, very quickly.

I noticed that her tail was raw. It seems she got some kind of an excema infection right at the base of the tail. Poor Nikki, now she is being treated for the fleas, and the infection.

As soon as you see your dog do something different let it be a warning signal and take her to the vet. The prevention visit can be a lot cheaper than the treatment visit.

Unfortunately, my vet was not open yesterday, Sunday, when Nikki started with this problem. I am glad I did take here today.
