i feel so ashamed....berties been suddenly behaving badly and pooping oddly..i meant to ring vets friday but this major depressive bout has got the betetr of me. i couldnt see anyhting obviously wrong...he was eating and pooping altho every other day hed need metaclop or a feed of cc.
today he was biting again but wanting a cuddle too. he nneded his claws doing but cant be done by myself alone...sonikki cut his nails whilst i held him on his back. then we saw something shocking....a nasty lump under his front foot durectly under a toe
it could be sore hock but it does look like an abscess.....its nastyand obviously agony for him.
so we gave him a feed and metacam.....then i gave him metaclop syrup.
i rang the vets in emsworth and he rang me back....he said sounds like an abscess..if so it might be a case of antibiotics..or at worst toe amputation.
i was going to wait and ring our usual vet but getting an appointment would take about tuesday maybe later.....
this vet said come in tomorrow morning and if its an abscess and an op is necessary..theyd do it there same day. wow!!!
so i have leaving him to snooze like i did past two or three days but hes more aleert now...hes been to the loo in his tray and as usual..on the floor but this time hes got an excuse
hes just played a little with a bit thats broken off his plastic slinky..his fave toy.
i am worried sick......i knew he needed to see a vet but couldnt see anyhting obvious...if i had fliped him onto his back id have seen it..being a frenchie i dont do that unless i have to as its hard for them to breath like that.
so please....any tips would be great..but please vibes for my big boy...hes going to need them.
i wonder now if the abscess on his chin a few years back that did go totally..was related to the pasturella he has now..and im guessing this suspected abscess is again related to the pasturella.
sigh. poor bertie
