A dog came into the humane society having bb pellts all over its body.
If I remember correctly this was years ago the vet volunteering there plucked most of them out with like long tweezers and said to wait a couple days to wash the dog for scabs to cover and to just dab tge wound with idodine I think it was.
Anyways days later the dog was actually shaced as it was so matted and twice as many bb holes were found.
Apparently the bbs traveled inside all over and numerous surgical procedures were done to remove them.
Its sad that often $ dictate the quality of treatment, or how overwhelmed the vet is at the time.
Did your neice take him back in to have it removed?
I dont know if they always travel, but my uncle has a bb in his wrist from childhood that's never been removed and he has bever taken the time to have a Dr remove it, so many its selective as to the placenent of it. |
