Those of you who remember our little English Spot that had such a vile reaction to the Cylap vaccine might have thought it was all over and done with. So did we.
After many weeks of steady improvement in the wound to his bib, which had healed over somewhat lumpily but with good hair regrowth, he has today stripped himslef to the bone again. He started in earnest about three hours ago and it is now a bloody mess.
I don't have any Metacam to give him, nothing, so will have to wait until the morning.
He is not well at all, very jumpy and agitated, he itches all over, miserable and grumpy. He has been in boarding for a week and uncharacteristically bit the owner there at the start of his stay. I noticed last night that he was a bit uncoordinated, his back legs seemed a bit weak and he was very jumpy with us. He often takes a few days to adjust to change of circumstances and we put it down to that. He spent today under the bed, won't play, doesn't want fuss.
We are completely disheartened, because we had already said that if it all started up again we would consider the pts option because the wounds he gets are so awful it doesn't seem fair to continue indefinitely. I am going to have to carry him round the vet tomorrow and take their best advice, but I fear the worst
