We took Frankie to the vets today, She has checked him over and his weight is fine, she has now micro chipped him to us but his ears were in a terrible state, he must have been in so much pain because when Anna looked in his ears both were thick with clumps of grass seeds that had dried and gone really hard and were stuck, it took a long time and gentle attempts to remove them and he cried so much but eventually they were removed, one ear was bleeding and the other really infected but he has had them cleaned and is on antibiotics for a week. His paw underneath has a bad wound that could have been a grass seed that has got stuck and made the paw swollen so its making him limp, that has to be bathed in salt water twice a day until she goes back to Anna on Wednesday, once she checks his ears next week she will start his course of vaccinations, the lump on the inside of his leg she has no idea at the moment what it is but Anna would like him to settle in with us for a little longer and once he is clear of infections and his paw healed she will need to remove the lump to see waht it is so not out of the woods yet but am praying he will be fine. The boys were great with him last night, kept their distance a little today but no fighting as yet, am treating them all the same, food in different corners of the kitchen and all seems well, he doesn't bark at all even when the boys run to the gate he just seems to get nervous and cries, he follows us everywhere, but bless him he is an angel
will upload pics tomorrow as all are loaded to my facebook page.
thanks everyone for all the good wishes
