Please, any advice!
Milo was neutered Monday last week and his wound has got slightly infected. He also got a tennis ball-size scrotal haematoma.
On Friday, he had scrotal ultrasound and was started on antibiotics (co-amoxiclav).
On Monday I insisted they at least attempt to drain the haematoma. Idiot - should have been that assertive on Friday.. By Monday, a lot of the blood already started getting fibrosed. So the tennis ball is now may be a cricket ball, not much less.
The wound is still weeping little amount of pus.
I wanted to clean the wound and to apply triple antibiotic ointment we bought in the US. He would not let me near the wound. I tried sedating him with Phenergan, adding Codeine for analgesia yesterday; both max doggy doses acc to Merck Manual for Vets online. He just about fell asleep a couple of times, but still was easily awoken. Geez, if I had taken those doses, I would have been out cold, and not just for 12 hrs.
What would you do? Other than seethe that the vets messed up a straightforward op and then had the audacity to charge me 400 pounds for extra services? I'm at my wit's end and have been regretting ever taking him to the vet.
He is SOOOOO sweet! I can't bear thinking I could lose him due to stupid complications of a basic op!
