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?

@b4cks4w

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.

poor doggo🥺🥺🥺

the soda should soothe his paw somewhat.

@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

@b4cks4w

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 heavily favoring the foot but able to put it down, so that's improvement.

@b4cks4w

oh good. i expect it will be tender for awhile, but the aloe vera should help healing.
