Oliver Update- ((bump on head and bleeding)) Just got back from the vet! My poor baby!
The vet thinks he must be allergic to fleas so she thinks a flea bit him and caused his whole body to itch. He ended up having a pretty bad infection underneath the scabs on the two bumps on his head. She shaved the area and removed the scabs and applied ointment. She also gave him flea meds and updated his shots. I'll start the antibiotics for the secondary infection tonight- I'm so glad I got him in and I'm so glad we are on the way to recovery---but soooo expensive!! Geez!
Thanks, everyone, for your concern in my earlier thread.-- just wanted to let everyone know the outcome! |
