msjpk Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 Plummer, who will be 10 in August, has had a consistent toe infection, since I adopted him 2 years ago. So I consented to a biopsy for this Monday. Plummer will also get a dental. Oh did I mention he also has hookworm!!!!!!! He is on meds. Biopsy is to prescribe the correct antibiotic for his poor little toes. They ooze and scar so easily. Please keep Plummer in your prayers that all will be well.

greyhead Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 Poor Plummer! What a lot to endure. Glad you caught the hookworm, and he's definitely in our thoughts and prayers for his toesie.

msjpk Posted April 5, 2010 Author Share Posted April 5, 2010 Question, vet never mentioned whether I should feed Plummer before biopsy 's and teeth cleaning? I's thinking not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batmom Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 Usually no food or water after midnight the night before. Hope all goes well with your boy! Hookworm can be tough to get rid of -- you have to worm on a cycle a couple weeks apart, a couple rounds, to catch all the little beasties.

msjpk Posted April 5, 2010 Author Share Posted April 5, 2010 Plummer has returned from dental and biopsy. He is very sleepy, and the biopsy will take a few days. His toes are all bandaged up and we have to return on Wednesday for change of bandage. Keep fingers crossed for speedy recovery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest eaglflyt Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 I hope he recovers quickly and feels much better soon! I'm so glad his dental and biopsy went well. HUGS to all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PreciousMom Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 Hope they figure out the right drug to get his toes better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msjpk Posted April 8, 2010 Author Share Posted April 8, 2010 (edited) Returned to vet today with Plummer to change his paw bandages. Vet felt healing would be much better without bandages. So she gave me a no bite collar and needless to say Plummer flipped out. I removed it as he was sooooo stressed. Has anyone suggestions for a collar that is used for greys? I have his socks back on so he won't lick paws. Biopsy showed severe nail infection (no kidding) rest of biopsy not in yet.

Batmom Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 His kennel muzzle (plastic basket muzzle) with some tape over the lower holes. You might have to adjust where you tape after you see him try to get to his toes, but that's not the type of wound he's likely to try scratching at. Good luck!
