Guest Vers Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 We'll be keeping you and Pepper in our thoughts and prayers. I hope he's okay. Please keep us posted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SusanP Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 Fingers crossed that it's something that can be cleared up quickly. Do you have any idea what he grazed it on? I guess I'd feel reassured that there are signs of injury, rather than something internal acting up on its own. Sending good thoughts!

Sending good thoughts! no idea how he did it,could be something to do with the graze which looks insignificant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peppersdad Posted March 8, 2010 Author Share Posted March 8, 2010 Hi All,just back from the vets with pepper,vet says its an infection,coupled with a temperature,the leg is swollen,and the skin is a red/purple colour like bruising .so pep is on a course of antibiotics.but all in all pep is his "normal" self,one of my daughters left an unattended easter egg so pep had a midnight feast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Energy11 Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Glad Pepper saw the vet, and you are on the right track getting the infection under control! :-)) Hope Pepper heals soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peppersdad Posted March 8, 2010 Author Share Posted March 8, 2010 So Strange,but given,how the leg looks,pep is surprisingly active,or perhaps he is still on a sugar high from the easter egg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peppersdad Posted March 10, 2010 Author Share Posted March 10, 2010 here is a pic of the sore leg,i`m still none the wiser as to what it is the swelling seems to have traveled down to the hock and now to pep`s foot,and the leg is still quite red ,could it be a bruise.

Guest Energy11 Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 Looking at this photo, it ALMOST looks like bleeding under the skin. Do you think Pepper could have hit the inside of the leg? That would account for the sweling and the lameness. Hope Pepper heals soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think Pepper could have hit the inside of the leg? That would account for the sweling and the lameness. Hope Pepper heals soon! it does lool like bleeding under the skin,the confusing thing is pep is not lame,he is running around as normal,the leg looks a little stiff,when he climbs on the couch i am wondering if pep ran into something,upon the easthill where we take our early morning walk,and it is normally in the dark Edited March 10, 2010 by Peppersdad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, my disclaimer ... I am not a vet, but to me, it does looks like the bleeding. Glad Pep isn't lame, and hope he feels better VERY soon!
