Here’s pics of the sores and him in his diaper. With and without flash. Not a
great closeup. Its a little better than it was right after the butt bath. It’s
his upper thigh/butt where he lays all the time. He only lays on one side. I
Hope the diaper keeps him dry tonight because I put the silver sulfa…..
antibiotic cream on his sores and it needs to stay on and not rubbed off and
not peed on. He’s still a wee bit damp from his butt bath but I have to go to
bed. I patted with paper towels, towels, sham wows, more paper towels, hair
dryer on low for like 20 minutes. OMG it’s like it’s against the laws of nature
for the fur to be completely dry.
I can’t believe he got these scabs, it must be from having bare skin rubbing
on blankets and carpet and getting wet with pee. I thought fur was falling out
because I had to keep wiping/brushing out some mushy poops. But then it kept
falling out I was using cornstarch to try and keep him dry/dry him up when he
peed, but it didn’t work. I put him on several layers of bedding to keep him
dry, it wasnt working a few days ago but I think I got it figured out now so he
can stay dry. But then he pees onto himself sometimes so he gets wet again and
the cornstarch didn’t prevent the sores. Maybe they are bed sores or rug burn
and urine scald?
Don’t tell him I took a pic of him in his diaper, he finds it very undignified.
