A trip to the vet and irritated eyes.

Last Friday Stephen and I took Mandy to the vet to get her vaccinations and to get her teeth cleaned. Mandy's breath had been smelling so bad so I decided to take a look at her teeth and they were definetely in bad Shape! They had brown and yellow crap on them and even a little bit of black on some of the small front ones! Now her teeth are all cleaned off and healthy again and she just had a couple of realy tiny teeth pulled. I am going to buy dog toothpaste and be dedicated to brushing her teeth because I don't want them to get that bad again.

After Steve and I picked Mandy up from the vet we noticed that her eyes were bothering her, she could absolutely not keep them open. It seemed like her eyes were stinging and burning or something , and she couldn't sit still she was just so uncomfortable. Her eyes didn't get better till the next day. I felt so bad not knowing how to help her out with her eyes, it was awful! I tried wiping down her face with a wet rag because I thought there might be something on her face irritating her eyes ( I didn't know what else to do ) but it didn't work. Stephen and I think it happened when Mandy was sitting in the kennel right outside the vet office ( she was there when we went to pick her up ) . The wind was blowing fairly hard and we think something in the air was irritating her eyes. We know the vet didn't do it because he is a great vet! In fact when we got home it seemed like Stinker's eyes were bothering him a little bit too.

The picture I posted of Mandy is one of me and Stephen's favorites of her. The thing she is holding in her mouth is a chew treat. It's such a cute picture of her, I love it!
