March-April WC training, winter injuires.

Walking the dogs near the hours and in Kirby park
flushed a few single wc over the last few weeks.
Liza started to point. She pointed 3 wc so far and today was the record day -
she had 2 points, the second one was a double - wc and a rabbit.
2 more wc were bumped today, so a record day overall.

She lets me come pretty close, I tell her to stand while approaching.

Couple times she honored Luna's points very nicely.

Ivy didn't point any birds so far. She slowed down a lot, still enjoys going out, but stays close to me most of the time.

Liza had a metal "hook" in her right shoulder about a month ago, I took it out, flushed with a lot of water with a bit of povidine and stapled with one staple. I made the mistake of taking the staple out on day 7 and running her on Robert's farm, first she completely ripped the t-shirt she was wearing, by the end of the run the wound was a bit raw, but then I made the second, bigger mistake of leaving Luna and Liza in a crate for a while and I think Luna licked the wound completely open.
I decided not to staple again, it healed fine, but took more time and the scar is bigger.

In the winter both Luna had a broken nail it was bleeding pretty good.
Liza had a bleeding abrasion or cut on one pad. So had to rest both of them.

Found lump on Ivy's belly, Dr Seager said lipoma.
She wasn't eating well, the only thing in the blood work was high liver enzyme (AST or ALT?)
gave her Zentonil for 30 days, didn't repeat blood as it was a snow storm on the day.
She seems to be better, but slow to get up in the mornings, however eats her 2 cups per day of Royal Canine Satiety food. She looks pretty trim, the coat looks better.
