Ricky is going back to Vets

I have to take Ricky back to the Vet's this morning. The hole that healed from his anal sac abcess is open again and obviously infected again.
He has been on antibiotics for over 3 weeks but I guess it wasn't enough. He is not happy and seems to detect that he is going to the Vet's. He used to love going to the Vets but these (leave over and cough) type exam stess him to no end. (sorry, didn't mean to make a pun there)

Sending you get well wishes!
Ricky get better soon.

Ricky is on a stronger antibiotic now and back on the ointment that has to be injected into the wound (oh such fun)
One good thing is his diet is working, he lost 6 ounces.

Oh dear. I do hope the little fellow can get through this, and soon! I know that for both of your sakes, he needs to heal!!! :D Prayers for Ricky's recovery are still being sent.

I'm hoping that the stronger antibiotic & ointment are just what he needs to get back to feeling better.

Goodluck at the vets on Saturday. That photo is precious. Ricky be a good boy and take your medicine. :)

Best wishes to you and Ricky and the rest of your crew. Let us know how the vet goes.


{{{Hugs to you and the little cutie}}}

Ricky's Vet was pleased with his progress and although we won't have to put the ointment in the wound anymore, he will be on the antibiotic pills for another week just to be on the safe side. Mostly, Vet says he wants to avoid surgery. We do too.

:)

Glad that Ricky is doing well! Keep getting better, little guy!!!!

From the looks of Ricky's *Medicine time* picture, it appears that will be quite a relief to the little fellow.

Awww, Ricky! I'm glad to hear you don't need the "ointment treatment" anymore! You've been through so much little guy and we sure do hope they'll be no sir jury for you. Paws crossed that before long you'll be ALL better! Hugs to you sweet Ricky:) Take your pills now:D

Ricky went to the Vets again this Saturday (June) and he doesn't have to go back for one month. The Vet wants to keep an eye on him to make sure it doesn't come back.

Wow, great news!!! Paws crossed that he continues to do well and gets the "all clear" nexc visit! Hugs to you Ricky Man!:)

Yayyy for Ricky. Keep getting better, sweetie!
