Guest Heehoo Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 Hoping to get a little sleep tonight after this update. I'll be sleeping on the couch downstairs with Fixer. We got the antibiotics and anti-inflammatory meds in him for the night, so I hope things will begin getting better. I suppose Fixer and Uri could have gotten into it. It's possible something got them all worked up and maybe they went at it. Gracey, who is the serious trouble-maker of the family, still had her muzzle on perfectly, so she's probably in the clear. The whole thing with Fixer just seems really odd. And the other 3 are completely fine. Anyway, I'm most worried about the swelling, which has extended down into that leg. I will keep a close eye on it and call the vet right away in the morning if it hasn't improved. I'll update all of you in the morning. Thanks again. I hope Fixer is doing better today. Bless his heart, that picture made me say owie out loud. Yeah they could've gotten into a tiff over who's gonna get the kitty. In the meantime the kitty is back over the fence & looking back to see what he started. Then when the tiff is over, everyone is apologizing for what was said & done. Not important now. I just want Fixer to be okay. You're a good mommy for sleeping on the couch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest longdoglady Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 Anna had a similar swelling last week after a dog bit her on our walk, it was a hematoma (bleeding under the skin) and it got quite big. Her skin was purple and over the week the bruising and swelling diffused downwards. She had antibiotics and painkillers and is fine now but if it is air under Fixer's skin then the spreading is a concern and should be seen by your vet. I hope he is feeling better and the swelling is going down. x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TeddysMom Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 Just looking for an update on Fixer this morning. I hope you and he had a restful night and that Fixer is feeling better this morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest K9Cookies Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 Hey everyone. We had a pretty restless night. Fixer had a lot of bleeding from what I thought was an IV site on his leg. All of that swelling put pressure on his leg, which made this spot ooze a lot of blood overnight. We couldn't get the bleeding under control, so I took him to the vet again this morning. Come to find out, he didn't have an IV...that spot is a tiny puncture wound. Fixer now has a big compression bandage around the whole front left leg. There's another spot oozing underneath his chest too. He's in much better shape today though, so it's just a matter of time before things get better. Thank goodness it's the weekend and we can be home all day today and tomorrow. We'll keep you updated. Thanks for the good thoughts and prayers.

Guest K9Cookies Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 Update Sunday morning- Our big guy is doing much better! The bleeding totally stopped yesterday evening, thank goodness. The swelling seems to be better too. He acts much more comfortable now...pawing for pets, excited to eat and pushy to do the things HE wants to do. The big compression bandage on his leg will come off tomorrow morning. He'll get checked out again by the vet. I'm sure they will be very pleased with his progress!

Guest K9Cookies Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 Fixer got the compression bandage off of his leg yesterday morning. The vet was pretty pleased with how he's doing. That leg is really swollen, but I know it will take time to heal. They opened up a spot that was stitched up on his chest to let it drain. He bled a lot yesterday, but a T-shirt prevented a huge mess, thank goodness. I wish we could figure out what happened! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFullHouse Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 Continued good healing thoughts for Fixer.
