Charlie has a severe ear infection. The inside of her ear is fire engine red, and it’s all weepy and oozy. I took her to the vet’s office yesterday, and they had to sedate her and keep her there in order to flush her ear canal out.
I feel like the world’s worst pet owner. I know we haven’t been paying as much attention to the dogs since we brought the baby home, but he needs us more than they do right now. Or so I thought. I’m surprised the vet didn’t call animal control and have us charged with neglect. I can’t even begin to express how ashamed I was.
I expected to feel new mom guilt. But I never thought it would come from the dogs.
