I was able to give him his antibiotics. I'll give him the Steroid this afternoon. He just gets that once a day. I've gotten really good at giving him oral medications. Or, maybe he's just given up fighting me off.

I'll stay worried until the swelling subsides. So, back to constant butt hole checks. I live such a glamorous life.

I'd let him watch 'Excalibur' but I'm afraid he'd memorize the 'Spell of Making' Siwsan Jan 2023 #9
