The Wounded Warrior Comes Home

Spot got to come home this morning, but boy! Is he a sorry looking sight! There’s a big patch of fur shaved off, and we were wrong… there were actually TWO punctures and abscesses, not one. I guess the second was a little smaller and covered under fur, so we didn’t notice it.

I tried to get a close up shot, but he wouldn't hold still. Here’s a link to the best shot I could get a for a closeup of the wounds, not for the faint of heart, or easily grossed out. I’ve seen worse, but this is nasty enough!

Since these sites were infected, we have to leave those wounds gaping open and uncovered to allow them to continue to drain. Spot’s on an antibiotic, which is thankfully a liquid, and not too difficult to get down him.

I don’t know what he was fighting with, but it definitely left him a wounded warrior.
