I woke up the other day to find that he had gnawed an ugly bare spot at the base of his tail. Ugh. Vet found that his anal glands with full and infected. He drained, then ran some bloodwork hoping to find the cause. All the bloodwork came back fine, so while while Rusty is feeling better we're still not sure what brought it on all of the sudden.

Fortunately, he's doing well in the e-collar and seems to be less sensitive to the area. He's on antibiotics and pain meds.

Thanks for your concern! And if your sneaky spy girl comes up with any possible causes, let me know!
