You may have done nothing wrong but accoring to me, your story is inconsistent. No need for your vet number. It's just a pet forum here, not the fbi. Just get your story straight next time.

[angelfaerie19]

Ya know what? No, I'm not going to lie to you people anymore. I said that I took him to the vet to get you off my back. But I have spoken to one and she said that he is ok and that there is no need to bring him in. His scratch is COMPLETELY healed...What more do I have to do???? I did what the vet told me to do, which was clean it with anticeptic and but a triple antibiotic on it. And I did. After 2-3 days of that it started to heal...it has been a while since then and now it is completely healed. What do I have to do???? I did everything right and now my baby is ok. I came here for help and advice....not to be acused of animal abuse...and I am no animal abuser.

Thanks for your honesty.
You know, you can't please everyone here. I know. I probably have some people who aren't happy that my dogs aren't from a rescue. I think we can all be happy here by telling the truth, at least about our animals. Returning to, Jax, glad he is better.

[angelfaerie19]

Thank you. I just felt like there was nothing that I could do. I mean, if I could have gotten him to a vet the minute it started I would have. I love my animals so much. And everytime an animal of ours has died it has been from old age, not due to neglect like I am being accused of. I love animals, I can't even bare to see one that is dead in the road, let alone kill my own. I'm too soft hearted and animals are my passion.

Honesty is always the best policy. Be honest with these people and they can help you through anything. The main thing is that your baby gets better. I wish you and your doggie the best

Yup a bunch of bull crap! :

Not that it makes a difference but I don't see the post about the 9:00 vet appointment, BUT even without the exact times known you can still tell that the dog did not go to the vets unless it was in the middle of the night. AND a lot of her posts are now edited.

We don't need any more fakes around here thats for sure.

[lv4dogs]

OOPS, crap I for some reason when I replied above I did not see the 5th page. It wasn't showing up for me.

Now that I know for sure that you lied, yes I am glad you came out & told the truth but I am still dissapointed that you lied to begin with. I hope you learned your lesson.

I really do hope Jax is doing good & continues to do so.

Of course, I only want Jax to be healed, healthy and happy.

However, what a huge lesson this is for the "oh, maybe she is young..." or "maybe we are misunderstanding her..." or the "lets give her the benefit of the doubt" people on this thread, and every other thread that immediately had people questioning things: it is pretty easy to spot someone telling a huge lie. Like she did. And, the next person that pms me and says, "let's just give this person the benefit of the doubt.." needs to remember this thread.

People that lie are liars. They don't tell the truth. Everything they say is immediately suspect from here on out for me.

Couldn't have said it better myself. I am glad Jax is better, but there is no need to lie. Lying, especially once caught, just makes you look bad, even if it's only "online". Most people can tell when others are really lying or exaggerating thngs and nobody here wants to have that happen. You will find this place and every other place you go a MUCH happier environment without the lies, then you also won't have to try to defend yourself against the lies and suspicion. It's okay to disagree with others, many of us do, but no need to lie to try to cover it up. Just be honest and you will get along just fine. I am glad Jax is better and I hope you learned a good lesson that can help you in the future, not just here but in life in genral. Good luck to you.

Well, honesty is the best policy but you shoulden't have lied in the first place. People lose trust in you. This is a website, so all she has to do is leave, I doubt she learned her lesson. But you will eventually learn in life. Be honest right from the start next time.

well said Vela!

I wondered how this thread would turn out after:

Since yesterday morning I have been cleaning the wounds and putting a triple antibiotic on them, and leaving the collar off. Since then he is getting better. His fever has gone away, he's eating like a pig again

Fever equals infection as in systemic infection, which would also explain the anorexia. Given the original wound was described as oozing, smelly as in probable Clostridia infection. Such infections are deep, and not readily treated by any surface antibiotic salve. Neither will a systemic infection be affected by treating the skin superficially. Might decrease the toxin load on the system, but necrotic tissue isn't going to respond well to antibiotic salve. The normal progression of such an infection in an older dog without antibiotic therapy would be septis, multiple organ failure and death.

Maybe an unexplained Christmas miracle.

Well, I do have an update for you all, and you can choose to believe me or not. We came into some money and I took him to the vet this morning, the same vet that I talked to over the phone. They took a look at him and she said that if there had been an infection it was a minor one. She gave him some oral antibiotics, I believe it's called cephalexin or something like that. I'll have to get the bottle from mom. Anyways, she gave that to us just in case there was still some infection. Other than that he is fine, the outside is healed and it looks like everything is definately going to be ok. I'm just happy that we came into some money because I still wanted to get him to a vet just in case. But I do believe that pretty much ends this thread now that he is all better. Thank you all for everything and I'm sorry so much trouble was caused with this thread.

Well if Jax is completely healed then you have a had lucky break, I sure hope he continues to be well, maybe you should try and put a little aside incase he needs further treatment, just incase, to be on the safe side.
