Saturday night Hunter started licking his left hind foot obsessively about 10 pm. When I checked the foot I saw a very angry oozing area and my first thought was a bug bite on his last trip outside shortly before. So off to the emergency vet we went. The vet felt it was probably a contusion, cleaned the area and treated it. He has been fitted with a cone for 3 to 5 days to keep him from licking the area. He has to get a peanut butter wrapped surprise twice a day for 5 day to keep possible infection away. Having a bed-hog with a neck cone is such a joy...
Rays & Hugs hope he has a speedy recovery, Patches ,Buddy & Papbouv
How is your cone head hunter doing? I'm sending healing rayz for him and hope all is going well.

The cone is still in place but I anticipate it coming off soon. The foot is looking good but I am waiting for results of a culture the Vet sent off to try to determine what caused it. Thanks for asking.
