[color:"red"]WARNING: THIS THREAD COTAINS GRAPHIC PICTURES!!! [/color]
I decided to go the way I almost never go. I guess there is a reason for everything. I brought along a couple of pieces of toast for breakfast-I almost never do that either. I pulled up to a stop sign and this little skinny black dog came up to my car. He was hungry and looking for a hand out. I felt badly for him, but when he turned his head I knew I had to get him, so I gave him my peice of toast to get him in the car. It looks as if he had been attacked by another dog or something and it nearly ripped one of his ears off. It is very badly infected and the ear canal is definitely affected. I'm not sure if we can save him, but we'll try. He is probably around 6-8 months old,his adult teeth are in but his "boy parts" aren't totally mature.
He's on antibiotics and is comfortable for now. We are going to get another vet to evalutate his ear, most likely he will loose it because of the ear canal being so badly infected. He'll probably need an ablation on that one ear. Once his fever comes down, we'll sedate him and clean it up really well and take a much better look at it as well. If he pulls through, he is going to have a long road of recovery ahead of him. I need to think of a name for him, even if he doesn't make it, he still needs a name.
I'll update when I can.
