UPDATE - Ace is Home! (pics of penrose drain)
Submitted by rprincess73 on April 20, 2010 - 11:12pmHi everyone,
We picked Ace up this morning from the vet. He was SO excited to see us! And seeing him act the way he did...it just made me completely realize how much he didn't feel well the other day. Although I thought he was okay.
I have to say - I have never seen him so HAPPY! He is completely playful; running around, chewing on toys, playing.
The vet put in the penrose drain on the side of his face - by his ear. It is draining quite well (not too nasty). He is on Clavamox for the next week, along with Rimadyl for pain, twice a day.
Here are pictures of the drain in. He still has some swelling in the area of the abscess - which will continue to go down in the next week. Once all is healed and the infection is gone - then we will get him in for the laser surgery of the ear canal, to open it up...preventing any future abscesses from occurring (hopefully). ![[linked image]](http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb306/rprincess73/Ace%20Thunderpaw/16and17weeksold034.jpg)

Update....Good Night
Hi everyone,

Ace slept through the night - didn't even wake up until 8 this morning! I fed him...and tried to be sneaky by putting his meds in his food. What a smarty...he left them at the bottom of the bowl for me:) So I know he is feeling good.
He is now playing with the comforter that my son is wrapped up in.
I got his wound cleaned up this morning and this afternoon, we are going to lay him down and with the assistance of my son - really scrub around the area and get all of the crusties off of there. I think that will make a big difference for him, too.
He is playing with his tire and his treat ball. It's so good to have him back home - that is for sure.
Thank you all for the good vibes:) You all are just amazing people:)
