Turbo at the Vet

Turbo got his gauze pack removed from his wound today.


I could tell it hurt! Poor buddy! Then the vet had to turn him upside down to drain it. 


There was still too much fluid coming out to stitch it up so the second hole is still open (his eye lid was stitched last week). Twice a day for the next week, I will flush and drain his wound. I also have to start force feeding him everyday because he's lost weight too. 

The pic below is how he wanted to stay for his appointment-- snuggled up in my hair asleep. 


We have a follow up visit in a week and perhaps then we'll be able to stitch the wound. The goal is to have the bleeding totally stopped do he doesn't develop another hematoma.
