I was pretty depressed about things yesterday. His foot hadn't changed and he lost a stitch last night. Early this morning when I changed his bandage there was alot less drainage. I swear it looked a little less red. He is going in in anhour or so. They didn't have an appointment slot available today. Last Friday they said just bring him in and they would fit him in asap.
I did some research on his condition. It is very hard to treat. The problem is figuring out what kind of bacteria has infected him. They have part of the cultures back and the others are due anytime. Until then they are just trying the most common antibiotics. He's on Clavamox currently. All the sites I went to basically said you have to just keep fighting it. They also said a second surgery is not uncommon.
On Saturday his pain level was back up and I increased his morphine back to his max. It should be wearing off now and he doesn't look as uncomfortable. So I'm crossing my fingers and hoping and praying that maybe the antibiotics are working.
I handle most medical care things well, but seeing him in pain rips me up pretty bad.
I'll post later today or tonight.... whenever the vet calls.
Shiva thanks you for ALL your good wishes.
