The Exploding Wound Saga Drones on
I was not disappointed. She came back with Clyde and a little tray that held about 3 ounces of stuff that came out of Clyde that looked like tomato soup, but thinner. Now he's on new, much stronger antibiotics and we're going back in a week. We're also supposed to do super hot compresses as often as we can. If there isn't a significant difference by then, the vet said that it may be in his best interest to excise it because its location is going to prevent a good healing on its own. I told Bear that he was going to have to go to work in a little doggy sweatshop to pay for what he did to his brother. So, send positive thoughts our way that the swelling goes down and we can avoid surgery. Even though it's minor, I don't want to put him through it. Although if he does go under, he's getting the works-- we'll get teeth cleaned and hips x-rayed too! |

I hope Clyde gets better fast!! Poor boy. |

| Get well soon Clyde!!!! |
Aw, poor Clyde!  I hope this new round of meds and treatment works for him! |
| I'm so glad you posted this, I was thinking about you and poor
Clyde. It's good that she was able to get some of it out, but I really hope the new antibiotics work. I'd really hate it if he had to have any- thing more done, although the extras like teeth might be nice .
Then at least you wouldn't have to do those things later. Good luck with the compresses - I don't know if my guys would sit still for it! Hope this is the last of the infection - for both of you - but especially for poor Clyde. Did the vet say anything about trying to keep it open - did she pack it, or are you letting it close?

| Poor Clyde. Barney says Clyde has to milk it for all it's worth. Lots of extra treats and rubs and dirty looks to Bear.
Have they been getting along okay now? I know you said last week that nothing else had happened. Anything new on that front? |

I was trying to figure out why you think sheepies would produce pants rather than sweats and then I realized you meant because they pant instead of sweat. D'oh!  |

| I knew I shouldn't have come here...
Gagging again..... 
Sorry that things are not working out as hoped. Hope he gets better soon... |

I'm glad that you didn't initially get it Val...I thought he meant that Darcy was too sophisticated to wear sweats, so she would want a pantshop instead of sweats...  |
| That is so tough to deal with especially when it is just in the worse possibly place. Hope the new medicine kicks in quickly and is more effective. |

Gosh - I'm feeling bright  today.  I actually got it the first time! I'm usually the last one to get Ron's jokes. |
I was expecting the title to be "the exploding wound saga drains on"  |
| So sorry to hear what is going on, Kelsey needed surgery in the end too as the same thing kept happening. It is more the scar tissue as it leaves a pocket there that keeps filling up, so had to be cut out and stiched up.
I hope the stronger anti-biotics work for clyde. I tried everything back then but the same thing just kept happening so an operation fixed the problem. Hugs to you both. |
| Poor Clyde, sorry to hear he's having a hard time getting better. And thank you for not showing us any photos of the drain!
How is James doing?? (I hope I'm not ruining your surprise!  )
p.s. we had a nice little dog fight here today for no apparent reason, no blood drawn, but I'm starting to become familiar with Haggis' tasmanian devil look.  |
| Ohmygosh!!!
Poor Clyde, Poor Bear, and Poor Mama!! You sound so much like me with regards to worrying about our furkids! Thanks for the kind words you posted in regards to Panda and I understand your concern about surgery and sedation. Has your vet stapled the wound or was it stitched up? Merlin had a deep wound once that was stapled in order for it to drain. Just curious. I'll be saying my prayers tonight for Clyde and really hope he doesn't need the surgery. Hugs to you as well. Hopefully Bear doesn't have to go to work in a sweat shop to pay for the cost! Marianne and the boys |

Jill, I hope the new meds work. Poor Clyde give him a kiss and a hug for me.   |
