Just sitting in my car as this guy gets treated at the vet 😭
Last night we noticed Odin really licking in the crotch area but it was very late at night so it was very hard to see anything. Today when I got back from work, my husband and I were able to tag team to try to take a look {massive dog = massive strength} and it looks like a bad hot spot in his nether regions 💔
The vet thinks with the pond swimming something got aggravated and then the licking, and the licking....and more licking.
She has to sedate him to shave down there since due to the licking it’s quite tangled in a very sensitive area, she’s going to do a laser treatment then send home with the cone of shame and antibiotics and steroids. Please pray for our guy! He’s in great hands but my heart is sad for him and I’m quite in shock with how quickly it got raw.
The last picture is his Aunt ( whoworks at the vets office) holding his paw while they help my big guy out. So thankful you’re with him!!!
With all of this said, he is going to go home and be just fine and NOW - for the recommendation!!!!
We have decided that we need to invest in a good dog blower to get the dogs dry after baths, swimming, helping with blowing them out, etc. If you have one you love, please PM me and let me know, I would SO appreciate it!!!!
