Joey's Woes

Poor Joey. He has taken a beating with his immune system. He got an abscess in the fatty tissue after his neuter surgery, while he was on antibiotics. So now he has to take antibiotics for another month minimum and he has to have his incision flushed and packed twice a day. I'll be bringing him to the vet every Saturday until it has healed up to make sure the infection goes bye bye! He has to wear a collar, but right now he is sitting on my shoulder while I wait for his pain medication to take effect so that I can flush and pack his wound.

He's such a sweet little guy. He took his antibiotics like a trooper. It's a lot. .3ml of cefa and .24ml of baytril, then his pain medication. He's groomed himself so he doesn't look so raggy. We'll be flushing shortly. ::sigh::
