Jun 15, 2018, Friday. Hari Raya Puasa Aidil Fitri.

 The Muslim went to the mosque for prayers and stopped fasting today.    
 
3 hours after Pt 1/3 video was filmed, this dog was more alert hen the owner came in to visit. Still not recovered despite IV drips, antibiotics and pain-killers. The dog was more alert and stood lup when the owner came in. See the right head area swelling (full of pus). So there are two surgical conditions - right ear canal swelling full of pus and pyometra (pus in the womb).

No operation today as the dog is very sick. No fever due to anti-fever medication and treatment. She looked bright as at 6 pm when I checked her at the clinic before going for the Hari Raya Puasa Aidil Fitri dinner at a friend's place.


Jun 22, 2018 update. The right lower ear canal area swelling had become gangrenous and blackened. This area was incised and cloudy reddish-brown pus with the foul smell oozed out. After drainage and medication, the dog has a large hole in this area but has recovered her appetite.
