Re: [Chihuahuas] PLEASE advice/oppinion needed....

[Brenda Walsh]

Hey there. If it was me I would take him to the nearest vets.  If it's an infection it wouldn't take it long to spread in such a little body and with him being a service dog I don't think I could wait until Monday.  I hope he gets better keep us posted on how he's doing.

 Earlier today Pepper fell 2 different times for no apparent reason. He seemed like his leg just gave out, but he got right back up and did not act like it bothered him at all. Later, my mom pointed out that Pepper's butt area (real near the anus) looked swollen on one side. I could barely notice it. Within a few hours, it was swollen pretty bad.      Within another couple of hours, it got what looked like a boil or something on it. My first thought was that it was an anal gland infection. I have never seen an anal gland infection, so not really sure what it would look like, but that was my first thought.     We were at Wal-Mart and it was getting bigger and bigger. We came home and was gonna see if we could put a needle in it and drain it. While we were getting the stuff together, he burst it himself. Lots of blood and
 infection...really dark..almost black. The boil part has gone down some but not completely. The swelling remains. his whole leg is red. There is still quiet a bit of stuff in it, but we stopped bothering it for fear of hurting him or making it worse.     He already has an appointment for Tuesday. I will call Monday to see if they can see him then. Nearest 24 hour place is over an hour away. The vet I have used for 0 years has recently left, so I have no one I can call in now. The vet for Tuesday is a new vet the first time he will go there.     I am worried...anyone have any idea what it could be and any opinions of if I should get to a vet asap or wait and see how it is looking tomorrow?     Pepper is a service Dog, so his health is extremely important. He is 9 years
 old. While he seems like he is having some discomfort, he does not appear in sever pain and his personality seems ok. He feels like he may be running a temp, but I haven't checked yet...will do so shortly.     Marsha
