He was happy he was getting to ride in the fire crotch and seemed like his old self just with a huge gash. He knew where we were and didn't want to get out of the car. I got him inside and the vet said that it was a BAD cut that looked to be about 24 hours old. Which fit the time frame of how long he was gone. He said that smell was not him being dirty it was the smell of rotting tissue. Gross take that with your morning cherrios. I couldn't believe that it got infected that quick. I mean we called the vet as soon as we found him. He also said what I said that it looks like he got caught in a fence or something. Vet said that he needed to keep him overnight so that first thing on Monday they could put him under and cut out all the dead tissue and infection and that it probably wouldn't be able to be stitched up. So we will have to keep him inside for a long time until it heals. . This presents the problem of what to do with him. I think we are going to let him stay out in the stepson's room.
I was going to take a pic of it but it was too gross. I could barely stand to look at it. I hated to ask but I wanted a rough estimate of how poor I was going to be after all this. Not that it mattered because either way I can't just leave him like that. He said about 150 and if they can put drains in and stitch it up which is unlikely then about 300. I think I threw up in my mouth a little. Looks like I will be making payments.
He is going to call me about lunch and let me know how he is doing and if he can go home tomorrow. He seems to think that he will be able to.
Aidan stayed with my mom some today so I could sleep. Good thing too cause it's 11 and this kid is not going to bed any time soon.
