On Our Way to the Vet Hospital..

[2BullyMama]

Diagnosis is very infected tail pocket. She put him on Simplicef, and I was told to clean it out 2-3 times a day with mal-a-ket wipes. She said it's a mix of bacteria and yeast.

He let her get near it so I'm hoping he lets us clean it tonight. Either way, we need to get it under control as fast as possible.

HOLY CRAP!! I so hope it heals up quick. as you know, they are angels for the vet, but when it comes to Mom, it will be a different story, UGH.

so sorry he is not any better

Oh poor baby Blue, as if it's not hard enough to clean the bum, but when it's sore it's darn near impossible. Good luck and Get Better Blue!!!

Thanks everyone..

We were in the hospital waiting room, sitting on a bench. I let Blue jump on and cuddle to me because he's a very nervous dog, and just couldn't stop panting.

Every few minutes someone would walk over and touch him. Either his head, or try to rub his chin. It's a veterinary hospital, we're there for a reason. I mean he's panting like crazy, obviously not feeling well.
Whenever someone stuck their hand out to pet him, he'd try to squirm away.

I finally put one arm around him and my other arm would go up in stop gesture if I saw someone reaching for him. He finally started to calm down. He definitely does not like strangers touching him when he's not well.

Im sorry but that should be common sense, I'm human and I sure don't like people touching me when I'm not feeling good. Hope he heals ups quickly and feels better really soon? Poor guy

Poor Blue, i hope he feels better soon! I'm sure it's just as hard on you.

I Pray for a Speedy Recovery for Blue. Give this Precious Boy a Kiss and Hug from me and Elmo.

Thanks everyone.


@2BullyMama Chris picked him up and put him on the table, then held him like vet techs do. I was able to clean it without a fight. He didn't make a sound. Huge difference from yesterday. It was dirty, but not as bad as I expected it to be. I wonder if the vet cleaned it out earlier today? hmm..
Or, maybe our first vet was right and it was a sprain and now he's feeling better? I don't know what to think anymore- very confused.

Hope he feels better soon, poor boy.

When Orion's tail pocket is infected....she will not let me touch it. Normally she loves her tail pocket cleaned. Her butt starts to wiggle when the mal-a-ket wipes come out.
We have a prescription that we keep on hand in case of an infection....simple Cephalexin. Within the first day of the antibiotics she shows signs of improvement.

They probably did a swab test to determine what type of fungus was growing in there. If they said infection I would guess infection. He might also be sore from everyone sticking their fingers in the tight little space.

Good luck!

Ps.....I wouldn't want people trying to touch me either. Who does that now a days? They should know better than to touch a dog without asking permission first. Vegas would have snapped at them.

Hope it clears up real fast so Blue can feel better<3

I would personally never touch a dog I don't know without asking first, especially in a situation like that. What is wrong with people?

 

[nycbullymama]

I have no idea why these people thought it was a good idea to touch him. But then again, I was no better.. took me awhile to make them stop.

[MENTION=572]Libra926[/MENTION] i had to read simple cephalexin about 5 times before realizing it was simplicef. was gonna call my vet and ask for a script.. yeah, i'm very slow lately.

The reason I chose this specific vet is because she specializes in orthopedic and soft tissue surgery. She did all the procedures on Blue and Wellie. So when my vet said sprain, I thought maybe there was something more to it since it wasn't healing and decided to see her.
I don't believe she did a culture. Just went in, cleaned it out and from experience said it was infected. She told me they were searching for Blue's Dermatologist to get another opinion but he was nowhere to be found.

She was pretty sure of her diagnosis though so I guess we'll see.
