hi , had bit of a scare today . ruby yelped loudly this am as my hubby picked her up for a cuddle before going to work..she did it later when i gave her a cuddle so i knew somthing was wrong .. she then did it as she scratched her ear so you can imagine what i was thinking . i gave her a full examination to rule out any sprains etc. as i got to her tail end she was looking worried and when i lifted her tail there was the most sore , purple abcess :shock::shock:i cant believe its come up this quickly without me noticing i rang the vet and got an appointment for 4 30 .. anyway she didnt really settle all day then just now she went into the kitchen and i heard her yelp again.went in and theres loads of blood on the floor- its burst ! shes sound asleep now and must feel so much better but im still taking her to the vets , she may need antibiotics . in a way im relieved thats all it is but it was bloomin huge and i feel a bit bad for not knowing. has anyone had this with their dogs ? thanks, liz..
