Chowdren's driving me crazy!

Post by Ylaartim »

Its almost been three weeks since we got Poli and let me tell you all she's doin so much better now! She's starting to bloom! And I'm impressed on how much she's improved! :) she's bigger and heavier!

Apollo's afraid of Poli! We dont know why :( but we always knew that he's a little bit of a coward at times! Lol. It seems that everytime Poli will get near him, he'll immediately run or walk away from her. Is it jelousy?! Hahaha. When I or my bf carries Poli, sometimes I catch Apollo giving her that oh-no-you-dont look! And they really have different personalities although both are fond of eating and playing and ofcourse sleeping!

Anyway, hotspots are driving us crazy too! Its Poli's turn to suffer from it. :( poor baby girl. We hope she'll get better sooner rather than later! :) weather here in Manila's been bipolar! Rain shine rain shine. Could it be a contributing factor as why they are having hotspots?

I'll post pictures of Apollo and Poli soon! I'm just using my iPhone :(

Bathe the hot spots with salty water - pat dry with a soft towel and then rub in some antiseptic cream. Saves popping antibiotics down their throats. :D

The weather could be contributing to the hot spots if they aren't drying out completely, and then they get heated. That will cause bacteria to grow. It is important to dry them to the skin each time they get wet, don't wait for the sun to do it, and make sure when you brush them it is down to the skin so that air gets to their skin.
