Mommy didn't sleep well last night. She tried to monitor Hero so that he would not over-lick his wound. Mommy tried to put the collar on Hero, but Hero could not sleep with that. So, mommy decided not to let Hero wear it, but to keep on the monitoring.
At 10am, mommy made a phone call to Dr Lai Chong to confirm on the location of the vet clinic. Then mommy confined me in the play pen and took Hero to the clinic. I was nervous because I have not been alone at home since I was a puppy. I waited for about 1.5 hours before mommy came home with Hero.
Mommy told me that, she didn't see Dr Lai Chong, instead another vet called Dr Marvin. When she entered the clinic, she thought Dr Lai Chong was the onli vet in the clinich and didn't mention she wanted to see Dr Lai Chong. So, she was lead to Dr Marvin.
Dr Marvin asked for a lot of information about Hero before the examination, from his food to his medical history and record. After the 'diagnosis', he also concluded that Hero's anal gland was ruptured. Dr Marvin preferred to go for the treatment option without the anesthesia to clear off the infection. Anesthesia would be his last option if Hero could not cure within 2 weeks. Mommy felt such a relief when she knew this.
For the rest of the 1 hour, mommy worked together with Dr Marvin to clean Hero's wound. Mommy have to let Hero to put on the muzzle because when Hero got scared, he would growl and tried to bite the doc. Mommy carried Hero with one had around his weist and one hand to tighten the muzzle. Dr Marvin shaved the hair around the anus and the wound in order to proceed to the treatment. I think this would be the most difficult 1 hour in Hero's life.
Hero was given the antibiotic, anti inflammation, prebiotic pills and the iodine liquid. He has to be on medication for 2 weeks.
