Lucky's Day at the VET

You may have notice a small shaved area on Lucky over the past few postings.

A few Weeks ago Lucky had a small spat with a tiny dog at the Run who bite him in the mid hind quarters. I thought little of it, cleaned the wound with Peroxide and forgot about it. A few weeks later I noticed what appeared to be a zit growing there and within a week it had turned ugly and was oozing. I took him to Westside Veterinary Center and discovered he had received a bacterial infection form the little muffin that bit him and needed a course of anti-biotics to stop the infection. 

At first this seemed to work but a week later the pimple reappeared and back to the vet we went for surgery to remove the festering blister. He now seems better and is on pain killers and anti-biotics. He hate the cone collar attachment and stares at me as if he is being punished for no good reason. All seems to be going fine and I take him back in 2 weeks for a follow up and stich removal. 

BEWARE of ANTI-SOCIAL Miniature Dogs.

I have no bias against them, but have noticed over the past 8 years that the owners seem to think that the smaller the dog the less damage it can do. And seem not to train them to be social.

Thanks for all the kind words and gifts to Lucky.
