The First Repair Didn't Work

Update posted 10 months ago
The vet attempted to close Bruce's open wound but the sutures didn't hold. The infection is clearing up, but now he appears to be having a suture reaction causing the wound to open back up. 

He's going to need staples to hold everything together and give him a chance at healing.

Bruce was found with a large wound. It wasn't healing well and the vet determined the best course of action was to remove the leg. That was two months ago and he just can't catch a break. The amputation site isn't healing as it should and now it's infected. He needs a culture of the wound to see if the infection is resistant to antibiotics because so far nothing is working. And to keep him from doing additional damage, the vet has bandaged the site and he will need that bandage changed regularly. We had hopes that Bruce would have smooth sailing after his amputation, but not everything goes as planned. Please help us get him the care he needs so we can finally get this under control and Bruce can go on with his life.
