Getting Well Soon

Things didn't go according to plan after all. My foot was still swollen and I still wasn't quite myself after a few days, so They made me miss my breakfast and I got hauled off to see Dr Scott again. He confirmed what we already knew - my foot had an abscess and I had to have an operation.



It was very successful and Dr Scott found a Foreign Body buried in my foot. It came from being an Explorer looking for Larry Lizards in the clumps of native grass in my Adventure Playground. He took it out, cleaned up my foot good and proper and bandaged it all up. He saved the Foreign Body in a Specimen Bottle to show us, but I didn't want to keep it.

Things got better after that and the bandage is off now. Dr Scott said my foot had to heal by itself, but luckily I get to finish the antibiotics 'cos they taste good! I was threatened with That Collar again if I licked at my foot, but after a couple of hours with It on, I learned my lesson and haven't touched my foot since. She is contemplating pulling up all the grasses so the same thing doesn't happen again. What with the water feature subsiding and being out of action for over 3 months and now this Whole Business with the grasses, my Adventure Playground is rapidly becoming rather boring... Although I did catch a Larry a couple of nights ago, bandage on and all!

Here's a word of advice to Warrior Westies - make sure your Pack has Pet Insurance, it can become dangerous and expensive hunting in the wild! Dr Scott says he wishes more Packs had Pet Insurance, then he could give all his patients Top Notch care.
