Just goes to show, ya can't keep a good dog down! Good Boy SCOUT! Keep up the good work and good healing, were pullin for ya!
LOL. I am glad to see I'm not the only one to issue a ration of sliced sandwich meat to the family dog as a treat! Our beagle will stand on her hind legs like a prairie dog statue to let me know she's "ready" for her ration, even though it doesn't always work on us. It's one of her tricks to "con a goody" from the refrigerator. She's earned the nickname "Prairie Beagle" because of such manipulations. I am very happy to see Scout is mending well. He's a young dog, and your routine of antiseptic treatments appear to be working well.
