...when my human noticed a bit of a rash on the inside of one of my legs.
It looks sore and red but to be honest I didn't even notice it was there!
She took me off to the dogtor any way, 'cos she didn't like the look of it, and said that us Scottie are prone to skin issues and wanted to get on top of it so it didn't get worse.
This is where I go, it's a normal dogtor's place where you can go when you're not feeling your best, but they also teach humans to be vetties.
Here I am at the dogtor's, waiting for them to come check me out and weigh me and stuff...
I was seen by two lovely vetties, one supervising and a young man in training. He was pretty good, looked me over, checked my teeth and all the usual stuff.
Then they had to roll me on to my back to check out the rash... I wasn't too impressed with this, but he was an okay guy, kept giving me belly rubs and stuff so I eventually gave in.
He looked at the rash, said it didn't look too suspicious and gave them a cream to put on it. It should go away, but we have to keep an eye on it, just in case it is the start of an allergy.
The vetties both loved me (not that I'm surprised... who doesn't love me?) they kept saying how good natured I was and how calm and friendly I seemed (they were shocked when she mentioned how opposite I am at dog school... bol!)
Now... Down to the fun guessing game business, what's the winning, number... what do I weigh??
*drum roll...*
10.9 kgs (or 24 pounds)
Oh dear... I think that might be a bit high for a 6 month old pup... Oops... Might need to head out for a few more walkies...
On a positive note, this means our guessing competition winners are.... STELLA and RORY!!
Stella and Rory from Down Under guessed 9.5 kgs (about 21 pounds)
Well done! You canny guessing has won you both this lovely (and tasty) prize pack...

Dougall, of course they loved you! Who wouldn't claws you are so cool. I am glad your rash is nothing serious. I get rashes too and have to be on medicine sometimes. Congratulations to the winner of the contest.

Rashes suck a bit, hey...
DeleteGlad to hear the visit went well and that your rash isn't anything serious. As for your weight, our dad reckons wheaten's are meant to be a "little bigger"...I think he may just say that to make me feel better 'cos I am so much bigger than Sammy but I'll take it.
ReplyDeleteLicks,
Wally & Sammy
Ahehe... Oh dear, I hope your dad is right...
DeleteCongratulations to the Down and Under pack!
ReplyDeleteHey Dougall, those rashes are pretty scary. Yesterday, Buchi has a large red lump between his toesies and I panicked. My beau told me that it was just going to go away. Still, I panicked. Fortunately, it went away.
Huggies and Cheese,
Haopee
Lucky Buchi!
DeleteDougall hope the rash clears up quickly. Lucky it was nothing serious. Have a great day and a great walk.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes Molly
Thanks Molly.
DeleteWe hope the cream heals your rash quickly, Dougall!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to Stella and Rory!
We love our walkies - the more the merrier!
Love ya lots,
Mitch and Molly
I love them too, but my human has been to sick to take me this week... :(
DeleteOK Dougall, need to check out the grass and stuff you walk, run and lay in, Bites has a problem with one type of weed, go figure Mr Recliner has an allergy!

There are so many grasses, how would I know which one caused it?!
DeleteSo they gave you a cream without knowing what the rash is or what caused it?
ReplyDeleteThey said it looked like something... (vet talk) and that it shouldn't be too serious, but to keep an eye on it...
DeleteYeah-that means keep on coming back. Oh yes, bring cash with you.
DeleteI hope not!
DeleteThat rash looks fierce! I am glad your human took you straight to the vet. Hope the cream works - keep us posted and good luck on your weight loss!
ReplyDeleteCongrats to the winners! I am happy it was nothing serious, my friend!
ReplyDeleteI am too buddy...
DeleteYea Stella and Rory!!! Good guess! I'm glad your rashes aren't serious! I hope the cream works really fast!
ReplyDeleteYa know, I think you look just fine! But, more walkies is ALWAYS a good thing right?!
Kisses,
Ruby
You're right, walkies are always the best!!
Delete:-) Close, but not close enough! Hehehe! You sound like you were soooo good at the Vets, you should have gotten a treat too! Hope the rash-y thing goes away quickly!
ReplyDeleteHey... You're right! They should have given me a treat... I feel jipped now!
DeleteProbably some grass or plant coming out in spring made that rash. Hope it goes away.
ReplyDeletecongrats to Stella and Rory.
XXXOOO Daisy, Bella & Roxy

DeleteHowdy Dougall, Dog oh Dog, are we happy. We'll send you our addy soon. Glad your rash isn't to bad and hope it clears up real soon. Glad too you were able to show off your handsome self to the training Vet. Good on ya mate. No worries, and love, Stella and Rory
ReplyDeleteCongratulations guys!!
DeleteOUCH! That rash looks painful. I hope it clears up soon... :-)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Stella and Rory! My guess was that you were far more sylph-like, Dougall! :-) Mind you, I myself weighed just over 30kg at my last weigh-in. :-)
