Poor Little Chester

My poor baby. :( He went out to potty about an hour ago and came back in and :o scooted his rear :o on the floor. He scooted all the way from one end of our living room to the other. Michael and I snickered at him until he got on my lap and I saw that the base of his tail was raw. And I mean RAW, no skin left. :( Poor baby has a BAD case of carpet burn.

We dabbed a cotton ball soaked with peroxide on it, and then put some neosporin on it. He's left it alone since, but he'll have the cone on tomorrow and be crated. I get goose bumps when I think about him scooting anymore on that raw spot. *shudders*

It's pretty big, too, about the size of Michael's thumb nail. Pretty much the whole base of his tail, where he has no hair. :(

ouch, sounds painful. I know getting carpet burn on my knees hurts alot, but near my butt would drive me nuts.

Hope he gets better super quick

Poor Chester. I guess if he leave it alone and you keep putting the ointment, it should heal pretty fast.

Ouch! Poor Chester, I hope it heals quickly and he stops doing the booty scoot.

Ouchie! Hope Chester's butt heals soon. Poor fella!

Chester you poor boy! :( Carpet burn sure hurts doesn't it? Aww, I hope he's feeling better soon, give him a gentle cuddle for me :)

Ouch! What an awful place to get a carpet burn! Here's hoping the ointment will help heal little Chester quickly.

Ouch, Chester!!! I hope you will be better soon!!!!

Ouch, poor Chester!:( Does he do that quite often? I'm not sure, but I think I heard or read somewhere that could indicate a problem or infection in the anal glands???

Oh poor Chester's bum..... mom... have you kissed it yet to make sure it gets better?!?:D

oh dear,, poor lil thing,,,, keep up with the ointment,, it will be fine in no time!!!

Ever consider hardwood,,,,, oooow,,, splinters!!!!:rolleyes: :eek:

I thought that meant that their anal glands need to be exercised (vets can do this). It's very uncomfortable for the dog, so I'd take him in ASAP...

Quch, porr chester i hope he is feeling much better soon. Get well wishes on the way for the little guy.

Poor Chester.
Booty scooting is ussually a sign of anal glands that are in need of being expressed, or if left for too long may become impacted &/or infected.

Awwww, poor little pup! Hope you feel better soon!
