I have searched for the last hour and read all I could find on Scruffy and was hoping and wondering if anyone knew how little Scruffy was. The last thing I could find was a post from mid July but thats it.
I read the original post when it happened. I had Bitsy spayed Tuesday of last week and didn't even think to ask about the heating pad. Bitsy got burned on her lower back side and a small spot on her right side. It's NO WHERE near as bad as Scruffy's but since it happened, and I had told another YT member, she reminded me of Scruffy, so I've been looking for an update to see how he is recovering from it. Bitsy hasn't seemed in pain with it much and she is on meds.
I also wanted to remind everyone who will be spaying their dog to ASK about the heating pad and let their vet be aware that this can happen!!!! We discovered the first spot last Friday and couldn't figure out what it was...and by Sunday we discovered two more. I took her to the vet first thing Monday morning because I thought maybe she had some sort of staff infection or mange or something cause her hair had come out...and when the vet shaved her backside we saw how bad it was
He was honest and very apologetic and sympathetic. He said he had never had that happen before. I've printed out the story of Scruffy and some of the post about it so I can take it to him tomorrow. He was genuinely sorry.
Does anyone know if Scruffy is healing well and if his hair grew back??? Bitsy is shaved on a good portion of her lower backside.I got upset the first time I read the post about Scruffy but even more so tonight. I just completely forgot about it and I feel so bad for Bitsy
If anyone has any info on Scruffy...I'd love to hear!!!
