Came home from work today and took Guinness out of the crate and when I pat the back of his head my hand was covered in blood. The whole back of his head was all stained red. Called the vet and they were nice enough to stay open for me (for a fee of course) so I didn't have to bring him to regional ER vet. The Dr said it was a hot spot and probably started small and he began to scratch all day in his crate and eventually the irritation spread all over. He was given a steroid shot which contained a mix of multiple steroids, the granadilla for pain and to help lessen the irritation and also 15 days of pregnazone. Hopefully he makes out ok and stops itching and this gets better. I love this dog more then anything but if its not one thing it's another with him and the vet. I'm just venting.
