Brutus went into the vet today for his bandage change and check. The vet is pleased with his continued progress and credits his extrodinary healing to the fact that we have been able to keep the wound dry. He says most people are not able to keep the bandages on or put the bags over the dressings to keep it dry and thus the wound stays nasty for a long time preventing healing. He noted today that the wound is beginning to “granulate” (something about the red fleshy tissue that is starting to form/grow at the nail bed – maybe one of the vet nurses can explain it to me better..) which he says is really good. ??? He said there was very little to almost no dischage in his bandage this time. Which he was also very pleased about. He is still shocked and amazed that he is doing so well.

Brutus came to the vet with his devil horns and bandana today.. he looked soooo cute. I explained to the vet that they were like my children and that in all honesty they were because I have them in leiu of children

He is extending the bandage change out to 3 days now so I go back in on Tuesday for his next check. It is still so gross looking but Brutie is such a trooper and it is not sore at all. His poor bald fingers look so funny.
