The Truffle Saga Continues...

Yesterday, Earle and I took Truffle to the vet. He seemed to be at a standstill in his recovery and was lethargic and not eating properly. As it turns out, he had a fever from an infection. The hind leg he had been favoring was sore due to a cyst filled with puss inside his hip area. The vet kept him overnight in order to sedate him and drain the cyst. While shaving Truffle's hind leg/hip area for the procedure the vet found two puncture wounds. It looks like something bit him and that is what caused the infection. So, he stayed at the vet overnight. He was given pain meds and antibiotics and rested in the air-conditioning. Today he comes home at 11 and then we will be giving him more antibiotics in order to clear up the infection. Earle may need some antibiotics of his own by the time we are done. He will be risking personal injury giving Truffle medication! He does not take it well. We are going with a liquid this time instead of pills. Less risk of finger loss!

Keep praying for our baby, Truffle. He should be on the mend now.
