Day started with sugar ants and ends with fire ants. Dug a bajillion out of the collie's foot. He's lamed. All the expletives. Icepack, anything else?
baking soda paste with water to neutralize the acid, perhaps.
@holon42 thanks, he would tolerate that. For once he's holding still, even seems to want me to do something. Sigh.
if you have any aloe vera, that gel would help too. it's great for any skin problems and is soothing on burns, protects the skin too.
@holon42 yeah, think I do...good call
how is the sweet fellow this morning?
@holon42 heavily favoring the foot but able to put it down, so that's improvement.
oh good. i expect it will be tender for awhile, but the aloe vera should help healing.
@holon42 book says soda and ice. THANKS. Will ring the vet tomorrow if dog stays off of the foot
AND I KICK ALL THE ANTS
