oh dear, Tracey. I'm just reading this thread. I know how worrisome this is but I'm glad you left your vet a message. Would you think of getting another vet's opinion if need be? I remember when Finn hurt his hip last summer and he growled at me quite fiercely when I tried to move him. I hate to think of Wally being in pain so I'm hoping and praying for a resolution soon. Hang in there!!!

I trust my vet's advice on this one… she didn't want to put him on steroids and wanted to give the meds a chance. I just thing it's either re-infected or something else...

Tracey I'm so sorry to hear about Wally! I don't know if this will work or not but I figured I'd mention it anyway- when Murray had his tail pocket infection he was a bear about letting me touch it to clean it too but [MENTION=13133]TyTysmom[/MENTION] gave me some really great advice that worked for me- treats in one hand, wipe or I actually also tried warm hand cloth in the other hand (with a glove on, in your case) and just gently see if he'll let you dab it with the warm cloth. I had to give Murray the couple treats, then have an antler or something he could chew one while I was trying to clean him up and that helped, he didn't 100% tolerate it in the beginning but it got better each time. I kept my one arm so his head was like resting on it and used my other hand to clean it. It's a challenge because they're wiggly little buggers! Please let us know how you make out and in the meantime Murray and I are sending our love, healing thoughts and prayers your way!!

Well...this just sucks! I feel bad for everyone and poor Walter, that's just not him ;(
He loves y'all (and Willow) so much...UGH! I'm stepping up my prayers over him.
I send much love to everyone...hoping it's the berries!

How is he doing? Has he been letting you clean it at all or is it better without the berries?

NO vomiting so it must have been the berries, and I got a quick swipe in on the bottom. So we are good for NOW!!!

I just had the biggest PITA logging into this site. The website did not recognize my password. I just might blow this site off for the biggest hassle today.

Glad to hear the Wallmeister is doing better. Try to stay warm. --rj
