I finally got this big piece of dirt or whatever (the vet told me it was just dirt, but I'm still not sure I buy it) that was under the skin between Auggie's toes out. They tried to get it out with a needle before but their aim must not have been as good as mine... I've been trying to squeeze it out since the first time we went in and she showed me what was going on and it won't move, so... I tried the needle trick this time. I got a little blood, but not a lot, and more importantly, I got the big hard piece of black whatever it is out.
It was disgusting. Nauseating at one point. But I got it!! And that is the foot he always messes with, so maybe now that whatever it was is no longer under his skin there, he will stop messing with that foot. He'll be sporting triple antibiotic cream for a few days but hopefully it will heal up better than before.
