Why the infection?

So the drain came out today which is great and his leg is healing nicely. They re-wrapped it because the hole where the drain came out was still weeping. He goes back one more time in a couple of days to check the leg again.

Talking to the vet about the cultures that they took, it turns out that he had a Strep infection. That is why he got so sick so fast. They figgure that he had a pocket of it and that it burst flooding his body with it and making him really sick. My poor baby.

He is doing great now, we are just waiting for the bandage to come off and then he can happily resume his 5 minute walk out the front door. He gets really excited to go out the front door since in 3 weeks he has only gone out the back to go potty.

I can't wait until this is all over and we are back to complaining about walking the dog twice a day. i didn't think that I would actually miss dog walking but I really do.
