Here's What's Keeping Me BusyAbout two weeks ago I noticed a lump on my dog's left hindleg. Because he has had a benign skin tumor before, I decided to keep an eye on it to make sure if it was a tumor or an insect bite of some sort. A few days later the lump appeared to have been punctured and was... oozing, so I called the vet.The vet seemed to think that it was infact another benign tumor, but Dante had managed to rupture it and it was now badly infected. He prescribed a week's worth of antibiotics and a check up appointment. Yesterday the dog went back to the vet and because the antibiotics had not worked, they had to operate on his leg, removing infected tissue as much as possible without jeopardising the leg's mobility. Oh, and they cut his nuts off while he was in the OR. Dante is now on strong painkillers (beef flavored) for a week, and even stronger antibiotics (strawberry flavored... I kid you not) to remove all remaining bacteria and keep the leg from becoming infected again. We're going in for another check up in two weeks, but the doctor said that with the infected tissue they removed and these now meds, he should be fine by then. Gotta mention how insanely powerful the painkillers are that Dante is taking. He's a big dog so usually even strong antibiotics only make him a bit drowsy, but when I give him one of the painpills, ten minutes later he's out cold. Like a cricket bat to the neck. Also, I bought an Xbox 360 and GTA4. 02:29 - 2008-Aug-13 - post comment

Ok, for the nut-ectomy, when he decides at 7 days, he's had enough of the stitches, make sure he has actually healed before he completely tears them out. You may have to set an egg timer to give your breaks from GTA4 to check on him. ;)
