let's see if I can make this quick . . . The son of my dog and the littermate/ brother of the dog in my icon belongs to my parents.
The breed is Chinese Crested and he is a Hairless.
A while back we noticed this area on his skin that just didn't look right. (no fur/ hair makes it very obvious)
So into the vet he goes and they took a scape . . .no idea what it is.
He now has 4 spots that are raised and inflamed so we took him to a doggy dermatoligist. She took him to the back to let the other two in office vets take a look. (without asking first) They took samples of two of the areas which lead to stitches being necessary. Dad told them he is a dog that likes to lick, they told him not to worry.
Yup an hour later the stitches had been removed by Artie . . .luckily the regular vet is @ 2 min drive up the street. So we rushed him in. They are going to put in new stitches and keep him for a bit of observation. Most likely he will have to wear a cone when we get him back.
So please healing thoughts and behind the ear scratches to Artie.
(and yes, I am royally ticked that a sample was taken without asking . . .cause you know I love it when the dog is brought back in the room with puckered skin, black thread, and bruises already appearing . . . and it doesn't appear like he was put under in anyway shape or form . . . but that would be a conversation for another site . . .so I am not going to go there on here)
