Binx has an infection...boo hoo hoo

[Cataholic]

Well, I thought his private parts looked a bit odd the last few days...and this am, when I saw :eek: :eek: blood:eek: :eek: , I was extra thankful we had made a 'just in case' appointment. Sure enough, Binxie has an infection stemming from the nuetering on Tuesday...he got at one of the stitches, and things are red, bloody, and swollen. Ugh. So, the vet gave him a injection of antibiotics, some pills to take for 10 days, and did a culture, just in case these aren't the 'best' antibiotics to be on.

My poor little baby has a tempature...in this nasty heat, to beat all, though I guess no time of the year is a good time to have a fever, is it?

Prayers for Binx, please...and prayers that he won't have to wear the e-collar I picked up for him today!!!!:eek:

[Cookiebaker]

Yikes! Binx that sounds horribibble!! Hope the medicine works really fast and you'll be feeling better soon!!

[carole]

oh BINX you poor darling, how awful for you, Oh i know all about those collars, really hoping you recover quickly and don't need that nasty collar on baby.

[KYS]

I am so sorry to hear Binx got an infection.
I hope the antibotics are the right ones,
and Binx infection goes away fast.
DId Mr. Binx pull or keep licking at his stiches?
Poor boy. :(

Ah, Binxster:( Poor baby; to have an infection, a fever and a COLLAR in all of this heat!:( Sending you love and prayers for a quick recovery, Mr. Binx!! Sandra, Cody and Star!:)

[joycenalex]

binx, binx, you poor baby! hugs to your mom and ear skritchies for you!

[jenluckenbach]

Prayers for a speedy recovery for Binx.

And a question, is it easier to give a pill to a LARGE dog vs. a cat (because you have a large target) or is it harder to pill a large dog vs. a cat (because by the time your hand is at the back of his throat, half your arm is in his mouth).:p

[Cataholic]

First of all, Mrs. Luckenbach, don't be making fun of my large mouthed doggie in his hour of need! Second, I just plop it in the food bowl, and never see it again...he he.


We just returned from the ER vet, as the blood spicket was "on". Binx has on a wrap of sorts, to support his privates. (Do I see porn in his future, or what??). The ER vet said it was from too much activity (what?), and to crate him for 6-8 days (double what?). Anyhow, we are on a low activity radar for awhile...and I hope the anti b kicks in soon. I see more vet visits in the future. Now is prolly a good tiime to say, "we won't be in Findlay on the 13th"....just too risky. All from a nueter? Strange, very strange.

[Cookiebaker]

Or was it from a Speedo that was too tight??? ;) :)

Cataholic: (Do I see porn in his future, or what??). >>>>>>>

Well Binx! You better lay off the activity than. hehehe

Aww Binx boy - I'm sorry you're not feeling well. :( I'm sure with your moms tender loving care, you will be good as new in no time. And if you have to wear a cone - I know you'll look marvelous darling! :D

Just what I was going to say!
Poor baby boy:( We'll miss you at the park, but we are hoping that you start feeling better soon.
Oh Johanna, you must love your big needy boy very much {{{Hugs}}} for both you and Binxy Boy

[gini]

Poor Binx, if it isn't one thing, it is another!

Since it is hot, maybe he will enjoy being quiet anyway.

But Binx, we just gotta get you totally healthy so you can go to the dog park and meet all of your friends.

[ChrisH]

Awww, poor Mr Binx :( I hope you are all better real soon sweet boy.
Big Hugs to you and your Mom.

Poor baby Binx:( He had to go through so much in such a short time. Prayers and positive thoughts going your way with best wishes not only for a quick recovery but also hoping that is the last bad experience you have.
Johanna, before I read that the vet put a bandage on your baby, I was going to suggest that you put a T-shirt on him (extra large, of course) with his back legs going through the sleeves opening and the tail through the neck opening. That way he won't be able to scratch himself. He may not look very dignified but it's not as bad as a plastic collar. I did that when Carina had surgery and it worked very well.
