We're back. Sat in the vets waiting for him, they went to get him and we heard a yelp.

They brought him out and he was whinning a lot, not in the bad way but he was happy to see us.

He's had the area round his wound cut down, pumped out as I said above. They didn't stitch the wound up as they want to get all the infection out of him first then let it heal naturally as that would be best, medically.

He's not aloud to scratch the wound, so we keep having to stop him. It still drips with blood and puss. Just need to wipe it clean. He's really drowsy, need to get him to settle and keep an eye on him.

I'll try post a pic with a big warning sign on it.

Glad you are all back safe and sound.
hope sunny makes a speedy recovery.

Back now.

His wound was pouring with a lot of blood and puss and he would not settle one bit. So took him down there as best to be safe than sorry.

They had a look, said it's healing up nicely and should be done in around 2-3 weeks. We've also been told to put socks on his feet and vassaline around his wound.

It's kind of weird, if anyone else goes to clean up his wound, he'll yelp, with me he lets me clean up, around and even yelp with out a tiny whine. Anyone gives him his tablets, he'll spit it out, with me he swollows it. He even let me put socks on his back feet with no fuss. So I'm going to say thats good.

So, in all, it's getting better. But as I said, best to be safe than sorry. I just hope he goes to bed tonight before 2am.

Better out than in for the gunge, you can see why the vet did not want to stitch it. Good on you for taking him straight back when it started to bleed again!
