We are back from vet.
Abscesses were better than the previous time.
More specific ,Thumper had a sedation. The back leg had a lot of pus , vet tried to remove as much as she could cause it was deep. No osteomyelitis (thank god). I have to clean it again with bedandine the next days and keep it open.The other back leg was fine and no abscess.
The front legs now , the one that was deep , had a little pus but one finger has dislocation from all these infections. Told me that there is not much to do.The other front leg had a little abscess but she completely removed all the pus and the capsule around the pus.
In conclusion vet told me that is in better condition. She is still a bit worried about the back leg and this may develop again pus. The 2 front hope that will be fine.
As for the medication gave me 3 penicillin injections to do every 2 days. Told be that there may be some side effects and i have to be careful for any sign. This injections are very drastical and hope that will heal the abcesses.While she told me to use 3 days baytril then she told me not. Im concerned that maybe would be better injections + baytril.
Also got a metacam on drops to use in case i saw Thumper in pain. 10 drops in a bit of water or apple juice.

The penicillin injections are 3 and if there are no adverse effects we will do 2 more. Thats what she said to me , i also thought that Thumper may need more . We will see. Lets hope for now to heal with these injections!
As for the spinal pain i asked couple of times but she didnt checked anything and continued to believe that Thumper can move well the feets cause of the abscesses. She may want to get rid of the abscesses first and then see any other problem may be
I will do the first injection is 2 days and im worried if i do sth wrong

Considering buying Manuka honey. Didnt asked vet cause i was sure she will tell me that it wont help.
Forgot to mention that Thumper is still 1.5kg . Good sign hasnt lost any more weight in these 20 days. Also vet told me to add leafy greens to her diet to gain some weight
How much time till Thumper is fully waked ? Previous time stand up at 3 hours or so. Now she is till down. Wake but not on her feet.
Vet previous time and this time told me that it may take till noon to fully wake. Its not sth strange right ?

Told me till tonight should be fully wake.It's very difficult to be specific here, as it will depend totally on exactly what sedation the vet has given.
I take it your little one hasn't recovered within the time frame given by your vet? This could be because of a previous sedation, which will of course have affected the whole system, and mean that any subsequent recovery from sedation may well take longer.
Can you call your vet to double check that all is well with Thumper?

Guess she will be fine. She lick a bit herself,me when i pet her and look at me. She is just laying down. I guess its normal im just worried a lot. And no she is not cold on touch neither hot.
