It kind of reminds me of what happened to my Zacky. His fur also came out
like that it sounds a lot like what I went through, He had sludge and his
area was red like this, I know it hurt, they need the fur on them to
protect. But I had to cut a lot of it off though as it was so stuck to him,
poor sweetie, I am sure the ointment and antibiotic cream will help. I
pray. It would be good if he was dry though I know it’s hard to do. I
will pray. Please let me know how the diapers and the ointment work. I
will look for pics of Zacky, I think I took some, but can’t remember.
Love to you and Frodo and Balin,
Janet

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.
Thanks for advice and support and prayers. We’re still hoping the ear
infections can be cured, then maybe he can get better. He’s struggling with
the dizziness and lack of mobility. He became mobile again a couple weeks
ago, but has backslid. the dizziness and neurological issues cause one of
his back legs to be weak and for him to walk in circles until he falls over
and can’t get back up.
