Edan sick again :(

Edan does have an infection. He was given a 7 day course of antibiotic and I have to keep an eye on it. I need to put a warm compress on it until it stops weeping. He'll need to keep his "doughnut collar" on for a few more days until the infection clears up. Another 5 days before he can be allowed to jump on the couch, bed or anything else.

I just hope this is the end of it.
 
I think I'm long overdue for an update on Edan.

We ended up doing a 15 day course of antibiotic for his infection. I also purchased the CC Peace and Kindness spray. (I recalled during a discussion here regarding CC brushes this stuff existed and my breeder keeps it on hand and swears by it.)

Between the antibiotic, cleaning the wound with peroxide three times a day for a week and then the Peace and Kindness spray we kicked the infection and Edan's final wound from the surgery is on its way to healing.

At this point, we have to keep an eye on the scab and the lump underneath it to make sure the infection doesn't return. The lump, which is some sort of reaction from the surgery, is starting to break up and disappear.

So, after a month and a half my little guy is moving back toward 100% normal. I still have him on an agility sabbatical while his insides heal. His first foray back into agility will be a Stuart Mah seminar at the end of August; 9 weeks post surgery.
 
Glad to hear he's back on his way to a recovery. And glad to hear the bump is breaking up. Have you been working on Rally? How's he doing?
