Hiya
@hollydolly I haven't been going so well lately
I've been battling a nasty golden staph infection in my lower right leg
We rehomed a 2 year old deaf Pomeranian Domino who had been mistreated in his early days
He got on well with my husband who basically would get along with Godzilla I reckon
However the dog changed and it was as though something snapped in his brain
He took a major dislike to everything I did and I could not move at all without Domino being aggressive
This went on for a long time quite probably too long because one night he sunk his teeth into my lower right leg
I did not think much of it at the time but huz took him to the local Vet to be euthanised because you cannot in all
good conscience even give the dog to anyone else
Huz explained what happened and the Vet said we were doing the right thing because he 'was an accident waiting to happen'
I would never have forgiven myself if he had savaged a child or someone disabled...don't even want to think about that
We lasted about 2 weeks without a dog and then we got ourselves a gorgeous male Lhasa Apso pup
This was 4 months ago and my leg had deteriorated until I could not look after it any more so off to our Doc
2 courses of antibiotics later and many dressing changes by the nurse at the Doctor's rooms
I am back to managing it myself before I call in a district nurse who can do home visits
The wound was very soggy and more of the leg was involved so I requested to manage it myself at home
Lo and behold after a week it has started to dry out and look more like my leg
So I am keeping my fingers crossed that it will eventually come good
I do look in from time to time but with my sore leg sitting in front of the computer can be painful
I am feeling better today and thank you for your concern
) and rice cakes (like chewing on styrofoam), go ahead. I'm gonna go out smiling and smeared with chocolate and ice cream
