Well poor Mr. Toby now has a skin infection. This is not surprising, since his immune system is compromised from the chemo. But just when we thought he was weathering things well, this happened.
We noticed Thursday night that he had some crusty thing on his back and upon examination, realized it was raw and oozing. He was also lethargic and didn't want to eat. So, we took him to his regular vet on Friday and ($140 later) they said he has some kind of bacterial infection (not a fungal infection, which is what I suspected). He's back on antibiotics and we have to clean and put antibiotic ointment on the infection twice a day. Poor guy. But he does seem a bit better today.
He was so good at the vet. I'm sure it hurt when they were working on the wound but he didn't cry or bark or try to bite them. Just a lot of anxious licking. Good boy!
