Vets

I took Flash to Mark's yesterday as didn't like the look of it. Mark said that he was very lucky to not have caught any tendons/ligaments. He gave him a shot of antibiotics and anti-inflammatories. It's healing, but not as wonderfully as I'd hoped. We'll see how it goes.

And another injury...

On Monday morning, Dylan and Flash went quite a long distance after a cat in the country park. They disappeared around the corner and after a short while came back. Dylan was fine, but Flash was bleeding from all four paws. Both the stopper pads were torn and he had cuts and grazes on his back legs.

I washed it all, cleaned it up, put neem seed oil on it and bandaged it once a day since. I wasn't sure whether I should have brought him to the vet for a stitch or two, but decided against it. However, today, it didn't look very good. The larger cut I was worried about has healed, but seemed to ooze a little, but another skin flap that was cut doesn't seem to heal up properly. So we are off to the vet's after all tomorrow as I don't want to take any chances for an infection.

Bugger, why is Flash suddenly injuring himself all the time?
