Just wanted to give everyone an update on Sarge. It has been a little over a month since we had the surgery for the interdigital cysts and we already have another one. As many of you know I have been using a vet that I wasn't too thrilled with and when she learned there was another one she wanted me to just continue the meds bc "obviously, there is nothing we can do". Well, that was unacceptable and not to mention we found more stitches that she failed to remove so we found a new vet! :D
The FIRST thing out of her mouth was "what is his diet" andi knew we were in the right place. The new vet couldn't believe the way the other vet did his surgery (she cut out all of the webbing bt his third and fourth toe - apparently this is NOT NORMAL and is unnecessarily invasive) and she cut him off of all meds but his pred and the rifampin and even cut those doses down as well.
She also informed me that bc of the high doses of pred Sarge has had over the past year he will now probably have to be on it for the rest of his life- had the other vet cut the dose sooner he might have been able to stop for a while and only start back if he needed it.
Anyways, the new vet seems to really know her stuff and Sarge really liked her too (some excited humping was involved). I will def be posting her name on the vet list!
Hope everyone is doing well!
