Hi, I picked PJ up today to give him a stroke to help reduce his matting, and I noticed a small hard bit on his shoulder so brought him in for hubbie to look at.
he was fine, but there is something stuck in his skin (looks like a thick splinter..where he got that from I don't know! might be after their naughty fight!!!) it is firmly bedded hubbie did see if it would come out so we decided to leave it alone. It doesn't seem to be bothering him at all but there is a tiny bit of blood around the wound.
What should I do? It's a bloody Sunday, he seems fine, eating etc. Should I put some TCP on it to help keep it clean (ish) I am guessing I should not try to get it out, the vet must do that to make sure it all gets out and is clean etc.
Should I get the emergency vet out? I will if I need to but I don't have pet insurance (thought I would just put cash aside which I have been but obviously only had them 2 months.)
Can it wait and I wil just take him first thing in the morning when they open?
Do I need to take Socks too to keep him calm or wil lthey be ok to be separated for an hour or 2? (I really don't know about this and bonds etc.)
Help help help!!!!!!
