Bambi's update...

Joe and I went to see Dr. MacDonald about Bambi's elbow, and from last wed... to this Monday, he got soo much worse.
Last week- 4.5lbs
Today- 3.9lbs Which is a VERY heavy drop for him since hes so small as it is. Any weight on him would be great.
Last week-limped every now and then...
Today- lifted it up the whole time.. He didn't even want to see his paw touch the floor.

Bottom line... it got super bad. SO the Dr. took one look at 1 out of 3 x-rays and was like, "Oh.. I see whats the problem" He points to this tiny black speck and asks, "you see that there?" yea....? "That's a small pocket next to Bambi's pin and its getting infected."

I felt so bad for Bambi. He said he could just put him on Antibiotics and make it go away, but with that pocket still there..... Its just going to pick up another infection, so he strongly suggested to just surgically remove the pins. Joe and I looked at each other, said yes, gave Bambi to them, and Joe got to pick him up later that day.

Dr. MacDonald called me when he JUST got out of Bambi's surgery, and said he was able to get the major pin that concerning him the most... (the one that was poking out of his arm and was able to feel under his skin) and when he tried to get the second one... he only got half of it out b/c of the end having a hook (for some stupid reason) But that pin wasn't much of his concern b/c it was really inside the bone, unlike the other one. Then said he should be able to be happy and dandy in the next 4 weeks at the most...
Joe brought him to my apartment, and we both saw that he was able to already! put weight on it, and it didn't even bother him. ^___^ I'm so glad that we're getting on the right track to healthy and happiness again. ^_^
When Bambi got home, he missed his toy seal and instantly went towards it with excitement.. then I quickly put his Grand mommy sweater on to calm him down.
Only bad thing is... Unlike his pain meds that he absolutely LOVES!!! He hates his antibiotic meds I have to give to him twice a day. So that'll be a fight in itself.
