After spending quite a bit of time cleaning the wound, the Vet decided to knock her out, put in a drain and keep her for the weekend. I think the Vet could see by the expressions on my face, that I was not a good candiate to do the daily wound washing etc. It was really gross. Lots of infection and dead muscle. I nearly passed out as he was cleaning it and flushing it.
She will be on two different antibiotics, have the drain in....and I will pick her up on Monday morning. He said he thought she would be fine. I feel fine with his assessment too. She was in good spirits, eating and jumping around, so whatever nasty puncture wound she has, it isn't bothering her that much.
The vet said it had absessed...(sp?)......and that he thought sure that it was a bite/wound. I was hoping it was a hot spot.
Juni and Ti will have a fun weekend. I am going to try to relax - and have positive thoughts about Ms. Miley girl.
She was very good for the vet, by the way. They fell in love with her right away. She was clinging to the vet tech when I left her, just like a baby would do, over the shoulder and her paws around the tech's neck. So cute.
