Poor Little Chester

[micki76]

My poor baby. :( He went out to potty about an hour ago and came back in and :o scooted his rear :o on the floor. He scooted all the way from one end of our living room to the other. Michael and I snickered at him until he got on my lap and I saw that the base of his tail was raw. And I mean RAW, no skin left. :( Poor baby has a BAD case of carpet burn.

We dabbed a cotton ball soaked with peroxide on it, and then put some neosporin on it. He's left it alone since, but he'll have the cone on tomorrow and be crated. I get goose bumps when I think about him scooting anymore on that raw spot. *shudders*

It's pretty big, too, about the size of Michael's thumb nail. Pretty much the whole base of his tail, where he has no hair. :(

ouch, sounds painful. I know getting carpet burn on my knees hurts alot, but near my butt would drive me nuts.

Hope he gets better super quick

Poor Chester. I guess if he leave it alone and you keep putting the ointment, it should heal pretty fast.

[jazzcat]

Ouch! Poor Chester, I hope it heals quickly and he stops doing the booty scoot.

[DoggiesAreTheBest]

Ouchie! Hope Chester's butt heals soon. Poor fella!

[ComedyDevil]

Chester you poor boy! :( Carpet burn sure hurts doesn't it? Aww, I hope he's feeling better soon, give him a gentle cuddle for me :)

Ouch! What an awful place to get a carpet burn! Here's hoping the ointment will help heal little Chester quickly.

[Logan]

Ouch, Chester!!! I hope you will be better soon!!!!

[Holly's mom]

Ouch, poor Chester!:( Does he do that quite often? I'm not sure, but I think I heard or read somewhere that could indicate a problem or infection in the anal glands???

[pitc9]

Oh poor Chester's bum..... mom... have you kissed it yet to make sure it gets better?!?:D

[LorraineO]

oh dear,, poor lil thing,,,, keep up with the ointment,, it will be fine in no time!!!

Ever consider hardwood,,,,, oooow,,, splinters!!!!:rolleyes: :eek:

I thought that meant that their anal glands need to be exercised (vets can do this). It's very uncomfortable for the dog, so I'd take him in ASAP...

[cloverfdx]

Quch, porr chester i hope he is feeling much better soon. Get well wishes on the way for the little guy.

Poor Chester.
Booty scooting is ussually a sign of anal glands that are in need of being expressed, or if left for too long may become impacted &/or infected.

Awwww, poor little pup! Hope you feel better soon!

Trust me, they're not impacted. He released them a couple of nights ago ON ME!

He had a blade of undigested grass "stuck" :o :o :o, which we found it on the floor. http://pages.prodigy.net/rogerlori1/emoticons/pukea.GIF

How's Chester doing? Did he have to wear the cone? :eek: Poor little guy - hope he's feeling better! You think he's learned his lesson about butt scooting yet? :rolleyes:

[KYS]

Poor Baby, doesn't sound fun.
Hope your bum feels better soon Chester.

[GoldenRetrLuver]

Poor Chester. I hope he feels better soon. :(

How's he doing today, Micki? Is he a conehead? ;)

[sabies]

Feel better real soon Chester!

[micki76]

Chester says thank you everyone. :)

Well, he's worn the cone for two days and been in the crate for two days, and I have one very unhappy little boy. His hiney is a bit better, but still not healed completely.

And no Amy, I doubt he's learned his lesson. He never does about anything. :rolleyes: :)
