Poor baby, but if the cone helps YEA. We hope that you are well soon.

Well yesterday I tried to take the cone off Hermes because he's just so depressed with it on and as soon as I took it off he went to scratch his head.

So the cone is back on. I might try later tonight to see if he leaves it alone but if not I guess we may have to leave it on for a while. It really stinks for him because he keeps licking the cone as if he's trying to clean himself.

Poor little guy.

Aw, it's probably itchy due to healing. Can your vet give you something to put on it?

[Laura's Babies]

Yea, there should be something for the itching! Poor baby, I came today to see if the cone came off.. Sorry to hear it isn't..

[phesina]

Oh, poor Hermes! That nasty collar will be gone soon, and you will feel so much better!

I hope the doctor has given you something for your Itchies.

Well on Friday May 1st I had to call the vet again because he still wouldn't stop scratching at his head and he reopened his wound again so the cone was still on his head and the vet called me back Friday evening and said that she would like to give him a shot of depo to help stop the itch.

So we took him into the vets and she gave him a shot and said to try to take the cone off in 24 hours and see what happens.

On Sunday I took the cone off and he went after it again. I tried later that day thinking that maybe he just needed more time for the medicine to get into his system and no that wasn't the case, he went right after his head and cut the wound open again.

The vet told us to call her on Monday if he didn't improve and so I did but she wasn't able to return my call yesterday due to her own chemo treatment she had to go through.

I called the vets this morning and she wanted to see him a noon today and I thought when I looked at his wound last night that it was spreading and she agreed when she looked at it today.

So I had to leave my little man at the vets so they could gas him, take a scrap of the wound, test it for ringworm, and she said she wanted to make sure it wasn't skin cancer either.

I'm really hoping that they find out what it is and it's nothing too horrible.

The poor guy has had this cone on now for over a week and 1/2.

Please say a little pray that everything turns out ok.

Thanks,
Melissa

Awww! Poor baby! I hope he will get better soon, that it is nothing serious.. Nothing worries us like one of our babies or a PT baby with problems.

[Anikaca77]

The vet just called and said that she is doing a culture test for ring worm for hermes and that will take 2 weeks.

In the mean time we have to keep doing his antibotic and keep his cone on for 2 weeks.

Poor guy is not going to be very happy about htat

Well today we are taking Little Man back to the vets at 2:15 p.m.

We want to have his head looked at to make sure it looks like it's healing fine and also he has now developed a cold.

His eyes are dripping and he's sneezing and sounding very congested.

Please say a pray for my Little Man.

Thanks,
Melissa
