Poor Ollie has a hurt foot. We think he fell off the back steps and injured his paw. A few days ago he started limping and then he was not even putting any weight on the whole leg. It got very swollen and was bleeding. We took him to the vet and they shaved his hair and cleaned out the wound. He has to take antibiotics and he has some pain medicine for a few days. He has to wear a plastic baggie on his foot when he goes outside. We are supposed to carry him up and down the steps so he doesn't aggravate his injury. He goes back to the vet on Tuesday for a check-up. They also want to do surgery on his foot because there is another problem there. He has some kind of growth that is leaking fluid and there is a hard mass inside the growth. The vet was squeezing the growth and all this stuff squirted out right in his face. It was so gross. They also want to clean his teeth during surgery and remove the tarter build up.
