Dekka needs some vibes

Just got back from the vet. They clipped her leg where she was licking. Its infected and hotspot like. Her temp was elevated, though she was quite willing to eat a benny bully treat the tech offered her lol.
After it was clipped they did this interesting laser treatment thing on the infected area and sent us home with antibiotics. She is all bandaged up, in pink vetrap no less, and is to wear her cone if she bugs the wrap. (though the laser treatment is supposed to immediately lessen the pain and irritation)
So horray for nothing terribly serious, just a nasty skin infection -that we have no idea how she got.

Whoa, that IS good news! That's interesting about the laser treatment. I'd never heard of it before. Since Monday sometimes sprouts skin infections for no good reason, I'm going to talk to my vet about this.
I am so glad that Dekka is feeling better and may not have to wear the Cone of Shame. Heal fast, pretty girl.

The wrapping is just to keep her from licking it.. even with a cone on she rubs her face (in cone) on it. Its got gauze on underneath so its not air tight.
I am so thrilled with the difference with the lasering. I was pretty skeptical but its Dekka........ so if there was a chance it would help we did it.
On a hugely postive note even with puking up the antibiotic after an hour it seems to be helping. She is more active now and is interested in food. She has wiggly bum again!!! (cause I am eating dinner)
