3 women and 1 dog....at 10.30p.m.

was planning to watch a movie after all the kids left at 9.30p.m. but beanie stopped me in the track.

it is only beanie, beanie, and beanie on everyone's mouth and mind today. grandma would recount his condition every time she takes a glance at him. aunt would refuse to go and see him because it will only makes the heart ache. i am running through ways to clean his infection in my head the whole time. haiz....

today it began very badly.

he was hiding and did not want to be found. even when we pushed food (with antibiotic in it) with a stick close to his snout, he would growl fiercely.

in the afternoon, he came out from hiding when he heard mom came back and went to poo. at least i know his bowel movement is still normal and it is not any liquid coming out. so nothing is wrong with his internal organs.

then he went to hide under the car...but soon we would have to tie him up as the kids were coming for his class. so the only way to get him to crawl out- spray water around the area where we did not want him to be. mom sprayed, and i got his dog collar when he came out and leashed him up. surprisingly, he did not put up any fight. he was really weak from not eating i think. yesterday he only ate a little and this morning, he did not eat at all.

he just sprawled there not moving when everyone passed by him.

at around 10p.m. just now...as i saw him motionless there, the disinfectant spray appeared in my mind and i realised that we had not sprayed it on him the whole day!

so i got hold of the can of spray and tried my best to spray on his 4 paws. he was quite weak so he was not able to fight. and i was holding his leash short, so he had no way to run. i successfully sprayed his paws.

then i thought of his ears....it was difficult...but i tried......and i FAILED! and i think some spray got onto his eye or the wounded area around his eye and he started putting that side of his face on the floor and started rubbing. gosh....i quickly shortened the leash till he had no way of putting his face on the floor and got grandma to bring me her fan. i think the spray stung the area so he had to scratch.

so there i was, together with grandma, one fan each.....fanning as hard as we could. and phew.....he stopped struggling after a while and seemed to enjoy the cooling air.

then mom came and i suggested cleaning the dog's ears. mom thought of using the coal tongs to hold the cotton and she went searching for the tongs.

so we got the bottle of dettol out, dipped the cotton into it, made the cotton as dry as we could and mom shoved the coal tongs into his ears while grandma and i were fanning furiously so he would be distracted. he stopped struggling after a while and enjoy the fan patting on his head.

then we realised, since he enjoyed the cooling air, why not get the fan instead.....i had been fanning for like 20 minutes with grandma since the spray got his eyes.

what a relief that idea was.
so there was the fan on the fight and mom's coal tong as well. see his blue paws?
so depressed. he did not even bark when he felt uncomfortable. he could only growl. ;(
i think the dettol left some cooling effect in his ears, so he let mom do it without a struggle after that. the infection of the ear started from the infection of the ear flap first. so the inner flap was red and there was a thin layer of pus. we managed to clean that.
after disinfecting his ears, we also cleaned his eye using clean water. then we applied aloe vera gel onto his ears and eye with the help of cotton and the coal tongs too lah. the coal tongs was a great help.
so you get the whole picture here. and the two bowls? untouched milk with panadol in one and the other is his rice with antibiotic and sleeping pill shoved into cooked chicken livers.

the question now is: is he going to drink any of the milk or finish his meal later?
if he finishes his meal, i will find him knocked out somewhere (he is unleashed now). one of that sleeping pill knocked me out for maybe 6 hours flat. so imagine that effect on the dog? but the pill was halved and one half was actually quite fine in powder form because it broke unevenly when i tried to break it with a knife.

well, we will only know tomorrow. at least now i am not that worried about his ears.
i just worry about how i will find him tomorrow and whether the 2 bowls will be empty or not.
