So I'm here trying to write about my puppy Sherlock and the hell he's currently going through. It's really difficult, frustrating and painful. It boils down to he said, she said.
Sherlock broke his plastic splint and the vet didn't have a replacement so we went to another animal hospital today. She told us the splint was the wrong size and bandages should be replaced every 3-4 days. Our vet told us to come back in two weeks on
June 2nd , that was
eight days ago. The new vet found a nasty hotspot on Sherlock's elbow, much like a bedsore. This sore was very infected and gray in color, this is the stuff gangrene thrives, no kidding! The toes and pads had this slimy, stinky film as they were infected as well. Omg you guys, so maddening! She had to wash his leg, dry his fur and shave it all off to dig out the layers of this gray sore. She put him on insulin infused with an antibiotic and pain killer. Then she worked on the pad and toes. Three hours later Sherlock was back in my arms!
We have an appointment with her on Monday. We will not be going back to our regular vet, not for this or anything remotely serious. Hopefully the antibiotics work to heal that darn sore. He's on four meds now.

I'm so frustrated and feel very badly for my dearest. Truly heartbroken.
