We got caught up in the internet outage over the last couple of days. Crazy how reliant we can be on the internet for things. One local supermarket could only accept cash or checks for purchases. A medical group couldn't access it's patient files. Not to mention that 911 was also down in many areas!! What...A...Mess!!!
Wednesday we had the fur boy back at the vet because of his uncooperative ear. Then we were back AGAIN today. Now he has what resembles a shoelace threaded through the holes to help his ear drain. He's miserable but hopefully this is the last trip until we get the lace removed in 21 days. He's being placed on prednisone too.
If we should ever have another pet need hematoma surgery they are getting the incision and stitches. Screw this piercing shit.
Hopefully he won't pull at the lace and hopefully they won't get sealed up again. We're supposed apply warm compresses every 12 hours and tug gently to make sure the holes are open. If any fluid builds we're suppose to gently press it out through the holes. ME....I can't do it. Thankfully there are 2 people here that can handle it.
Let the weekend be uneventful please!
Oh, your poor fur baby. And what makes it even harder is that they just don't understand. Hope he feels better soon.
ReplyDeleteSo true Mary. Today we will start his meds. So more not so fun stuff added. But if we them at the same time, it might be less traumatic for him. I just hope this latest fix works.
DeleteBest wishes to poor fur boy!
ReplyDeleteThank you. Here's to hoping this works. So far *knock on wood* the ear hasn't filled up. Just little pockets that they've been able to help drain. I'm such a wimp I can't even watch them do it lol
