However, Cresteds white turns pink when they are stressed, either emotionally or environmentally, and the day was already feeling warmish to me. I went on to work and made sure I left on time in case we had to make a Vet Visit. When I arrived home he could not bear weight, his foot was swollen to the size of my double-wides, and it was a fiery red with a busted blister on his foot pad. I scooped him up ad we raced to the vet. She thinks it's a bug or spider bite. Hopefully it will turn out to be non-venioumus. When I take the bandage off in the next day or so we should be able to tell. If there is a color change it could indicate necrosis and we will likely be looking at debridement (minimally) or amputation of his toe or foot (worse case senecio). I'm praying for healing without any complications. He also had a bit of a fever. He received a pain killer injection and pills (antibiotic and more painkillers) and I went to WalGreens to get benydryl for him. He slept really soundly last night. The only problem was his inability to hop up onto the furniture. (I also carried him up the stairs.) I placed a doggie bed (that Moggy sleeps in from time to time) on the floor but it's furry and very warm--I got the impression it was too warm for him, so today when I stopped at PetCo for pill pockets, I saw they had cooling matts. Normally, they would be too cool for Bandit, but I think it may feel good when he feels warm. We'll see. Anyway, the Bandit-Drama is not quite over....Loulymarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08207873356644644510noreply@blogger.com
