So now that I am overly obsessed with my dogs every action and total state of well-being, I take him with me everywhere I go. Last night we went to a friends house just to hang out and play some cards. Mel was SO EXCITED to see everyone there he was tearing through the house like a crazy man, playing with his toys and just having the time of his life. Pretty good for almost dieing 2 days before. We only stayed for about an hour and a half and I noticed his leg was seeping a bit again. Just clear fluid, no blood and nothing major. Well, being the paranoid person that I am, I set an alarm to get up every 2 hours throughout the night to check his temp. He hasn’t spiked any type of a fever, is not painful, and is eating well. Just a little fluid. I am kind of weird about touching his stump for some reason, but i felt around and it doesn’t seem hot or overly full. I decided I’m going to continue to monitor his temperature but I’m not going to rush him to the vet to have it drained. He was on alot of fluids for the past few days and I assume that along with him being a nut case last night were the causes of this. He is still on 2 types of antibiotics so I am not AS CONCERNED about infection. I will call his regular Dr. Monday and let him know what happens and see how he would like me to proceed. It seems like everything has the potential to be a major emergency at this point but I am trying my hardest to be calm and not rush him into the vet every five minutes. They probably think I’m a nut case. Oh and I have the cutest picture of him from last night. I will post it here as soon as I get home from work…
