I called the after hours line and talked to the doc. It looked like a pretty basic puncture so we decided not to bring him in. They won't suture a puncture anyway. Rick gave me some antibiotics without seeing Pacer, which they don't usually do, but since I'm there so much, he did anyway! Over the weekend, the wound started to look worse instead of better. It looked infected to me, despite the antibiotics. So I left Pacer at the clinic and told them to clip, clean, suture--whatever they had to do so the infection doesn't get any closer to his eye.
