After three months caring for Snoopy, I am almost at the point of surrendering already. Snoopy is at the moment suffering from pressure sores which I am not surprised since he could only lie down one one side. In fact, even when he was still able to walk, albeit weakly, he could only lie on one side too and there were already two spots on his thighs which were roughened out.
Now, one of the spots is a big gaping hole since Saturday. I wanted to take Snoopy to the vet on Monday and in fact has already made an appointment but my father said that it's not necessary. He said that hole will dry and close up by applying antibiotic powder.
So we are doing that and we shall see. It's very unsightly, though and I wince in pain when dressing him even when I am not the one with the wound! I hope that this will work and it will not be infested with maggots. That would be so much harder to treat. Gives me nightmares as my previous dog, Bobby, died of this!
