Duke had to go back to the vet today. He started oozing/bleeding and it was obvious the single area that it was coming from. They had warned us at the beginning that there might be some drainage, but there had been none up until yesterday. When I called the vet they said to bring him in because drainage this late is definitely not normal. He was very happy to be there and get all of the attention, the girls were loving it too. :)
It was a good thing we brought him back in because he's starting to get an infection and has an (i believe this is what the vet called it) adema. Where the fluid is filling in one section. It's usually caused by too much activity, but Duke has been kenneled our cuddling and goes out to go potty, that's about it. The vet said that with Duke, it's right between his legs so it could be getting rubbed by the legs causing it. He also saw Duke lay down and the way he's doing it it could definitely be part of the reason too. He's sitting on his hip and then kind of rolling and then laying down. Dr. Daigle cleaned it up some and told me to put neosporin on it and gave us more antibiotics to keep Duke on and we are now supposed to give them 2x a day instead of just in the morning.
