This boi was feeling unwell last week because of an infection. An area on his right hind leg just began to swell, and the swelling spread until his entire right leg became swollen too. Once I noticed the swelling, I immediately took him to the vet even though he still seemed active. Actually, what i noticed first was a change in his appetite. Then the next day, I saw the swollen area. Anyway, it wasn’t until the third day that he stopped eating and was just always sleeping. He was already taking antibiotics and other meds for the swelling, but his lack of appetite worried me so much. Instead of waiting for his appetite to get back to normal, I took matters into my own hands and began to feed him using a syringe. I cooked porridge with some chicken as well and spoon-fed him. It was messy, but I didn’t care. I was more worried about him than by the mess. Thankfully, after a grueling week, he’s back to his usual active and naughty self, which I missed so much while he was sick. I’m again screaming his name because he gets into all sorts of trouble in the garden. Still, it’s a joy to have him around 💕🐶 We still don’t know what caused the swelling. He had a small wound, like a small circular area that seemed scratched. I keep thinking that maybe he was bitten by red ants or maybe a wasp? A centipede perhaps? But what would explain the infection and swelling that really spread to his lower right leg area? I’m very curious about this.🤔 Now, I’m just thankful that he’s back to his usual antics. 😁🐾
