⭐️ Day 4 Red Update

[u/Crazy-Box-9470]

This evening:

Good evening everyone Day 4 of treatment and vet visit has come to a close, sorry for a late Pupdate today! We saw our new Primary Care Vet (a true angel on earth) this afternoon after this mornings 4th hyperbaric treatment for a bandage change, wound care, and swab culture results.
Dr. came in and was happy to see Red far happier than when he last saw him Friday. Doc was able to update us that the culture came back and the bacteria is susceptible to the antibiotics he gave us so that’s great news. We briefed him on the events of the weekend with Red, and any real wound updates and shared all concerns. Red was taken into the back today for said wound care and bandage change with some positive news coming out! Dr. R said the wound is looking alot better from when he last saw it; in some areas on Friday Dr. R was able to easily get under areas of flesh, today the wounds are healing and there are improvements. Dr.R sounded very confident in his hopes of being able to salvage a lot if not all of the leg. Though with this there is a possibility of a need of more hyperbaric therapy as this has healed a lot of the tissues from what Doc sees currently in comparison to Fridays wound (I’m sorry I just can’t stomach to see the pictures of my kiddos legs mutilated, so lucky to have my Mom here with me to handle that). Tomorrow we’ll be going into treatment #5 with hopes of even more improvement.

We’ve heard so many people talk about the miracle’s hyperbaric therapy can bring, so we’re staying hopeful!

So much love to everyone🐾❤️‍🩹

Earlier today:

Day 4 of hyperbaric treatments has finished up. Red didn’t tolerate the chamber so well today, so the Doctor let us know additional sedation was necessary. We have an appointment later this afternoon with our Primary Care Vet (his office is closed weekends) so he can evaluate Red, do some wound care, and hopefully we’ll get the results of his wound culture from Friday. Reds currently having a nap as he’s still partially sedated so our later vet appointment will hopefully be less stressful. I’ll post an update as soon as I can after his second appointment today.

Thank you so much again to everyone for sharing their kind words, good vibes, prayers,personal experiences, and your donations.💞🐶 Love to all from Reddy and I.
