Autism Service Dogs

It turns out that Spencer's nippy attitude about his feet may have a legitimate cause. He's got some skin irritation and a mild yeast overgrowth in the pads of his feet. The vet had to put the poor guy into a "party hat" to keep him civil during the inspection, which he handled with poor grace.

So, we now have 30 days of pill-shoveling to look forward to. We're going to be feeding him prescription allergy relief to reduce the skin irritation, as well as an oral anti-fungal to remove the excess yeast. Once he's back to normal health, we can work on reversing the behavior problems spawned by his tender tootsies.
