Recuperating Kai

Kai developed a raw and painful large hotspot from over-licking a rash in his groin region.  I couldn't see it under his fur and didn't even realize it until a few nights ago when I saw that he was finding it hard to comfortably lie down.

It was a rough first few days (and nights).  Wearing the cone to prevent further licking terrified him, but he has gotten more used to it although he still does need coaxing sometimes getting through what he thinks are tight spots.

J, awww poor baby Kai. I recall coated dogs would get 'hot spots' on them due to our heat and their fur. Luckily my dogs never did, is that what it is.Hope Baby Kai is getting better. N

Oh poor baby! Good thing you caught it. Our two doggies hate the cone! Hope he gets better soon.

Aww, I remember when our dogs had to wear the cone. They looked so sad. But Kai will be back to 100% fast!!
