Poor thing is having a string of bad luck like you wouldn't believe lately!
She finally started to come around after a few days; was getting back to her old self and then I noticed two spots on the back of her neck, the pigmentation was off. Waited a day and then decided to give her a bath. Gave her a bath and noticed that it caused the spots to sort of crust over.
I have a lotion I put on her after a bath it's called Nature's Aid, it helps with all sorts of skin issues so I doubled up and made sure to get it all nice and rubbed in.
Next morning the spots are bigger and redder! I started to wonder about a fungus ..
Next day the spots are starting to sink in like the skin is eating itself!
So off to the vets we go because I'm sure that it is related to her dental surgery. The vet agreed.
So they wen't back through her surgical log and sure enough the subque dose of pain meds they gave her went sub derma and it's killed the skin.
The spots on her back are necrotic tissue!!!
The pain meds (Metacam) actually KILLED the tissue!!
There isn't really a treatment other then cutting out the tissue which would require more of the same meds and cause the same problem so the only option is to give it the time it needs to heal itself from the inside out!
A process that could take up to 6 months!!
So just keep an eye on your babies if they go for surgery!
