Teddy had a set back.

Yes it went in for testing I am hopeful that they have an answer when we go back tomorrow.
Unfortunately I have a very sad puppy, I leave the cone on during day,

Oh that’s good…hopefully you get the results quickly!
I can just imagine how sad Teddy is but it’s for the best!
If he won’t leave it alone he’s stuck with it…his own doing!
Just don’t look in those sad eyes…

It's hard cause he lays on the floor just watching me. I am going to stay strong because 2 of his 3 spots are scabbing over real good and he keeps rubbing off the 1 just by laying on the floor. I am going to ask if that one can have a bandaid cover to protect it. I am just thankful that it looks so much better after the 2nd Vet did his thing.

I'd put a small bandaid on it or a small piece of gauze might breathe better...and check it like 6 hours later...if it looks dry and scab is sticking--success! What's the worst that can happen? Its getting knocked off all the time anyway, thats got to be slowing the healing.

[Piper's mom]

Here is a picture from last night I think it's doing okay but so slowly. I am going to leave it uncovered over night and see if there is a difference. He goes back Friday morning for a checkup.

 

[Piper's mom]

That’s looking much better! I think it’s a good idea to let it get some air. I bet it’s feeling better too for Teddy!

 

[SheepOfBlue]

Air and sun are great for healing

Well we just got back from the appointment. Vet was pleased with his scabbing over. Said the meds were working. He did say there was still minor drainage. All spots were scabbed over this morning, I did not wrap him last night.But said he needs to be in a cone till the scabs are solid. I am thinking a little longer cause he can't be trusted.
The side benefit is he had a small cyst on his left side for over a year,It's gone I can't find it.
He did say it looks like it was caused by a bad spider bite so I don't know. He said test results were good.
Piper looked so cute in the jammies that I got Teddy a soft sided cone for everyones benefit. I know my legs will hard plastt is sharp.
I think Teddy likes it so far.. Here is his new bonnet
