Worse

Eeyore’s leg is getting bigger. Don’t ask me how or why because I have no freaking idea. I’ve been keeping a close eye on it and at first I thought it was a trick of the eye. His leg is shaved so maybe it just looked bigger. 

But nope. By last night it had grown double in size since the vet visit one week ago today. 

I’ve been thinking it’s a suspensory that was not seen on US but now I’m concerned maybe it’s an infection. The left leg had the spider bite that caused severe edema and ended in both the spider bite rupturing and then a few days later a huge abscess blowing out the heel bulb. He felt instantly better. 

So maybe this is the same but the infection is trapped higher? There is no heat and while he isn’t hobbling I can tell he is uncomfortable. He is usually easy to pick up feet yet is now refusing to give the front left which would put all weight on the front right. His temp is normal and he is eating well and in good spirits. 

I’d think a suspensory would be stable or maybe improving with the treatment rendered thus far but this is getting worse. I stress texted Emma and Trainer last night and poor Hubby’s ears are bleeding from all my worry. Friday can’t get here fast enough.
