Behold the power of networking online. This will be the 4th dog this month saved from the needle thanks to FB and this board.
Unfortunately, my own dog, "T" has suffered some kind of injury overnight.
Suddenly he cannot get up, cannot walk. Your positive thoughts and prayers are appreciated,

I picked him up on Friday from the vet clinic that neutered him. We spent the weekend in Florida and came home to Virginia on Sunday. On Sunday I noticed his neutering site wasn't looking good, so I took him to my vet on Monday. It's infected, we were given Clavamox. This morning, Tuesday, it looked worse, oozing and smelly. We took him back to my vet. She opened the incision to clean it out, and she told me it is badly infected, and the vet in Florida did a bad neutering job. She warned me that if the infection gets worse, he may not survive.
Also, while he was sedated, she xrayed his chest (because he is heartworm positive), and his hips ( his is mildly dysplastic), and he had a lump on one hind leg, it turns out he was shot and there are metal fragments in the bone that healed over it. She said it is all healed up, there is nothing to be done about it now.
So my poor dog is a medical mess. I've only had him since Friday, but if he dies, at least he was loved for a short time. I almost forgot to mention, he is beautiful. I can't imagine who would shoot him or throw him away, and he has such a nice personality.
