My poor Dusty! Lately, he'd been kind of mellow and standoffish. Not majorly, but just not his usual hyper self. I hadn't paid much attention to it because I've just been laying around lately too.

Well, today, my brother was doing my yard and he asked me where Dusty was. (My brother is used to Dusty jumping all over him.) So, I went looking and I found him laying in the garage. Normally, as soon as he sees me, he is estatic. I called him several times and he wouldn't even get up.

When I went to him, his face was soaked in puss. He had this huge wound on the side of his face.

So, to make a long story shot, he's got another staph infection. He had a high fever. So, they put him under so that they can clean up the wound and treat him. I'll be able to get him in the morning.

This is the third time that he's gotten a staph infection. The vet says that some dogs just get them. They can start even from something as small as a dog bite. This time, it was very serious though. The area is the size of my hand. I hadn't even seen him itch it or anything. I do recall seeing his face wet a few times this week, but I just thought he'd gotten into something. His hair was hiding the wound.
