“After years of having a dog, you know him. You know the meaning of his snuffs and grunts and barks. Every twitch of the ears is a question or statement, every wag of the tail is an exclamation.”
~ Robert McCammon, Boy’s Life
Something’s not been right with Harry these past few days. He’s been quiet, out of sorts, and a little bit whiny. Not his normal Cafe Dog personality at all.
And he’s been smelly, which we thought was just his usual farm dog roll-in-all-the-filth style.
But no.
Remember when Harry had the terrible accident with the stick?
Last night at the farm he was restless. He went outside and came in smelling worse than ever.
‘I’m giving him a bath,’ I declared, and promptly put Harry in the shower. As I washed him clumps of hair fell out around his neck, clogging the drain. He had lumps and small hot spots everywhere.
‘It’s the stick,’ whispered my fairy friend Sokli in my ear. ‘Harry’s real sick with little nasty bits of stick. He needs the hostibul soon.’
So we grabbed a few things, packed the ute and drove back to Brisbane.
We had a sleepless night with our small hound. He was fretful and in pain, and one by one abscesses rose and burst around his neck. The only thing that soothed him was application of essential oils (Young Living’s Lavender, Melaleuca and Purification in some coconut oil) to the wounds and more oils (Young Living’s Valor, Helichrysum and Joy in coconut oil) on his spine. Ben and I took turns sitting with him until dawn came, so that we could get poor Harry ready for the vet.
We’re heading off now. Fingers crossed for good outcomes for our precious pup!
Hope the darling Harry is in deep recovery by now! Sending lots of prayers and love his way and your way too!
Hoping all is well…..update please?!
Oh no, poor Harry. Lucky that you listen to your fairy. Love to Harry xo
Hope he is healing fast.Poor wee dog! And poor you too! Very hard to have you friends ill! Love and lightXXXX
Praying for your pooch. Love and light.
I just do not like it when animals are hurt. I love harry and burt as much as my own. My little Max another wiley cattledog got ripped by a wild boar on newyears and has to wear a Tshirt now to cover the wound while it heals. kind of cute but really scarey at the time. My heart and thought are with you ,Ben and the dogs. Stay well
The one thing my sister and myself always say is we would rather be ill ourselves than our dogs . Poor cafe dog give him a gentle kiss from me and Oscar . Hope all goes well at vets , Keep us well informed .

Aww poor Harry, I really hope he will be ok, thinking of you all and sending love xx
Poor Bub. Hope all will be well.
Sending good thoughts to you and Harry!
Sending Harry lots of healing hugs. Seaweed absolute, either alone, or with green clay, can help bring abscesses out and heal the infection too (brilliant with puncture wounds, as my dog can attest to after being bitten by another dog). Will be thinking of you all and hoping for a speedy recovery.
Oh be brave lil Harry – sending love and light xxx
Sending Harry loving thoughts! (You too.)
Much love and light to Harry for the highest good. God Bless you All 💜xxx
