This is a weird stance to take, because if it was a RASH and NOT a bruise then it is important to know that the vet didn't know what he was talking about and THAT MATTERS
and to know that my puppy could be allergic to something or have been having a bad reaction to a bug bite. Remember in my initial post I mentioned seeing an area that looked like flea dirt and a bump in the same general area and the vet didn't investigate this at all. All of these factors are important. Pics on how his chest looks basically normal now are in the next post.
Bruises do not completely clear up in 3 days. Bruises tend to be tender. This looked like an angry red rash to the naked eye and I will not "forget" the vet or "forget" about trying to figure out what happened because it could happen again. |
Looked like a bruise to me. Your pup...your call. All I can do is offer what I think is a sound suggestion....
I have SERIOUS doubts that any vet would not know the difference between a bruise and a rash.
You seem to want to be in a position of defending what happened so you can feel good about leaving him there again. I get that it might be convenient; but, if it were me...not a chance in that hot place. Again...your call....your pup
BTW not all bruises are tender. I am a registered nurse...not that it probably means much but I say it was a bruise.
