Yes? No? Decisions, Decisions...update

That is horrible. My heart dog Zoe used to get hotspots but I would never have taken her to the shelter.

Very sorry to hear that. Poor pups and stupid people! Why do people even get pets?

Pyoderma literally means “pus in the skin” and can be caused by infectious, inflammatory,

can be termed a pyoderma.
Most commonly, however, pyoderma refers to bacterial infections of the skin.

[From the MERCK Vet Manual >>>
http://www.merckvetmanual.com/mvm/in...m/bc/70900.htm ]

“Hot spots” are also known as “acute moist pyoderma”.
What that means is that they are rapidly appearing, oozing, skin infections.

Should be treatable by a good Vet.

Oops..Thanks as always Phred..yeah, I spelt it wrong..right after seeing in written down. :rolleyes:
It's also called "Puppy Strangles". Her eyes were oozing green pus, and she had a lot of blisters all over her snout and under her chin. She's on prednisone, antibiotics and eye cream. The vet they saw said it can come back, as it may be caused by a faulty immune system. No way to know yet.

(You're tellin a rather :confused: story) ...

Does the ex-SIL still intend to KEEP HER PUP ...
or did she (ex-SIL's Pup) get shipped off to the SPCA with the other ones?

Awe.... poor little things!!! That has got to be painful, and the little guys have no way of knowing life isn't supposed to be that unhappy and hurting.

I hope that the vet is able to get them all better, and that the ones that went to the shelter will be able to get good homes and great vet care. :(

Just makes you wonder why things happen to the most innocent.

The little bugger is definitely staying where she is and is very happy and active. I haven't spoken to my ex-SIL in the last few days..I'm almost afraid to..so I don't know if the other puppies have been taken to the SPCA yet.
