Good news from the vet
I took Mirfy for a follow-up exam of his lesion on Monday, and the vet was pretty sure it was going to heal eventually. I asked if the skin around the wound looked okay (I was there was dead skin) and he said it did.
Mirfy is happy to continue with his antibiotics, since he gets the pill in a piece of hot dog. I'm continuing with the salve, too, although I now have greasy spots on the study's carpeting (he likes to lie on that side). I'm not worried about the carpeting, though; it's pretty old.
His mobility continues its slow deterioration, though. Monday morning I discovered he'd had a bowel movement overnight while lying down, and hadn't moved since he'd had it. But then Tuesday he ran full tilt to bark at the mail carrier next door. Today he's gotten up and is moving around, but he's stumbling around and looking frail and weak. My husband thinks it's time to have "the talk." All I want is for him to see another autumn. He loves 50-degree weather so much. He might even chase a tennis ball again, like he did one day in March.
