So, the day after the 4th things got worse for Moses. He ripped off his bandage and sock and I woke up the next morning and saw it hanging half off. So I bring him into the living room and take off the bandage and the sock and then almost passed out. I'll spare you the details but it was very open nasty looking. I called the VET as soon as they opened and after laying some smack down got him in right away. The VET had to staple his skin on the foot back together and bandage it again. We were told to bring him back the next Wednesday. Good news is that we didn't pay a dime this time. I didn't make eye contact with the check out ladies just in case they tried to change their mind!!!!!
They said the most important thing was to keep the sock and bandage dry. Well, it has rained pretty much every day here. NOT COOL. Everytime the poor dog has to go outside we have to use plastic baggies and rubberband them to his feet. Then, because the E-Collar didn't work they had to construct a collar made out of a bathroom trashcan. They took his collar, cut out the bottom of the trashcan and zip tied it to the collar. It's really sad and pathetic. When he has to wear it he can't do anything but lay there. So I have felt really bad for him lately.
We took him back on Wednesday only to hear that he has to leave it on until this coming Monday. Only, the VET wanted to keep the other foot covered up as well. So now I have 2 feet to worry about. It's been a really long couple weeks and poor Mo hasn't been able to play outside in weeks. He hasn't had a bath or been on a walk in forever. It's so sad for him and so frustrating for us! Pray that Monday brings good news!!!! =) Here are the pics of Bucket Head!!!
