Rockey Update:

Well things went from bad to worse for Rocky. After getting him home from the emergency vet we discovered that the object was still in his paw! How did we find out? Well for starters he started freaking out. He ripped his cast off and !POP! the 1/2 inch piece of wood shot out the top of his paw and stuck to the wall

The poor dog was in a tremendous amount of pain. Apparently wood is not visible on x-ray and the bandages the vet applied only put more pressure on it, forcing it through the top of his paw. Now he has two stitches on the bottom of his paw and a huge opening on the top! More antibiotics and vet bills are a results.

However, he's putting weight on it and running around like normal now so we'll see how it goes.
