Thank you all for the advice, I will get him into an emergency vet asap! I will update when I know something more. I really appreciate your input!

It looks more like what is known as a hot spot in dogs, i e pyoderma. Pyoderma means there’s a bacterial infection of the skin. It can start as a small wound. It should be cleaned and the surrounding fur should be shaved so the affected area can be kept clean and dry. I dont think you should wait until the 31st, hot spots can grow ( in…[Read more]

I moved this to the Q&A section so more people will see it.

I agree with Wick, this doesn’t really look like ringworm. At least not in these pictures.

There are treatments available for thymomas, although success rates seem to vary. The tumor can be surgically removed or treated with radiation or both. Did the vet…[Read more]

Given some of the bonding stories I read, I agree it was an easier one.  If it hadn’t been my first time it would probably not seemed difficult at all, but I am so lucky for your help! The end part was actually relatively smooth, more me worrying needlessly than them doing anything.  It is so nice to have put Miu’s pen away and have just two hay b…[Read more]
