I discovered yesterday that Spike has two infections in his beard from old injuries and so I did an "I&D" procedure-- incision & dissection to remove the pus. His beard looks dreadful. I'm hoping to treat his wounds locally with a topical antibiotic so I won't have to take him back to the vet to get antibiotic shots. We'll know in a week. Until then, I have to clean out the wounds in his beard twice a day, remove the pus, and pack the wounds with cream. He hates it. I don't blame him.
I had to squeeze out Spike's wounds tonight and then pack them again with cream. He hated it! Poor guy! So I kept him wrapped in his towel and put him on a heated up corn bag so he'd be nice & warm & wrapped up. He's much happier now.
