Our vet was able to squeeze Sadie into his schedule just before his office closed last night.
She was pumped.
They ran two different tests and concluded that the goop coming out of her eyes is likely a bacterial infection. We were sent home with a prescription to rub ON her eyeballs. Yes, on her eyeballs. Easy peasy, piece o’ cake! I have the scratches on my stomach to illustrate just how simple rubbing medication onto a crazy dog’s eyeballs (<—plural) proved to be last night.
Even the vet recognized that we have quite a “squirmy” dog on our hands.
Since Sadie’s vet is awfully close to a frozen yogurt shop, I stopped by before heading home and got a little too excited when I saw this…
Nutella frozen yogurt!
It was just as fantastic as it sounds.
I filled my cup with a mix of Nutella, cupcake and taro frozen yogurt, topped with Oreos, Reese’s peanut butter cup crumbles, Butterfingers, yogurt-covered pretzels, whipped cream and peanut butter.
I snagged an extra cup so I could scoop off a little bit of my whipped cream to share with Sadie since she was a good little patient.
Today
Since I’ll be doing a lot of sitting in cars and airplanes today, I wanted to sneak in a workout before my two-hour drive to the Jacksonville airport this morning. I did a cardio hodgepodge and completed 50 minutes of cardio split between the stair master, treadmill and the elliptical.
When Ryan and I arrived home from the gym, I quickly showered and made breakfast to eat while typing up this blog post.
I made a batch of honey whole wheat pancakes (I loosely followed my recipe for honey pumpkin whole wheat pancakes minus the pumpkin) and topped them with a bit of syrup.
Time to hit the road!
See ya from Boston!

aww poor Sadie. 🙁 And poor mommy having to rub goop on her eyeballs! Eesh. Medicating dogs even by mouth is not my favorite activity. Nutella froyo sounds AMAAAAAZZZIIIIIINNNNGGGG! I wonder how easy that would be to whip up at home? Maybe if you blend it with a frozen banana and some peanut butter?
Giving dogs any kind of medication is such a nightmare! Hope Sadie’s eyes are better soon!
Even as a human who can actually comprehend why someone is trying to rub a medicine on my eyeballs I would be squirmy. As a cute little doggy who has no idea what the heck is going on, I’d be ten times squirmier. Poor baby. I hope she gets better soon! 😀
I’m glad it’s not serious. And yay for nutella froyo! I bet it tasted great 😉 I made some nutella frosting the other day for the boy.
Okay…I can’t even imagine having to do that to a dog! I hope she feels better soon. Seriously…I just picture that and I can’t fathom how I would begin to follow those instructions.
Last winter my 65 lb squirmy dog had an eye infection and was prescribed goop for her eyeballs, too. Poor thing didn’t like it. My boyfriend would hold her down while I held her eye open with one hand and applied the gel with the other. Since you have a hubby hopefully he can help, it’s so much easier with two people! Hope Sadie’s eyes get better soon.
I know this is from a while ago but I came across it at the perfect time – our pup Nittany just developed the same thing! My husband and I are also sporting scratches from our epic battle to apply the ointment to her eyes. It’s horrible – I feel so bad, but I’m glad to see Sadie was back in action so quickly!
