This little piggy went ow ow ow


We noticed a couple of days ago that Jake was limping slightly.  I checked out both his feet but didn't see anything wrong.  Yesterday he was limping noticeably.  Again, I checked his foot for bites, bruises, or cuts.  I poked and prodded everywhere and got no reaction from him.  While at work later that night, I received a message from Dan say that Jakes toe is now read and inflamed and he is in pain.  I couldn't do much for him while being at work, and him going to bed.




This morning when he woke up his toe was very red and very swollen.  I decided to take him to urgent care and not wait until Monday to see his pediatrician.  





After what felt like hours, we were seen and was told he had an infection.  The doctor gave us a prescription and I was told to watch the redness and swollenness to make sure it didn't spread.
  
Waiting room fun




I just want to go home






We have to go back in 3 days to make sure it's healing.  Poor buddy is in pain and limps everywhere.  Sometimes he randomly cries and gets very antsy.  I feel bad for the little guy, and I hope this medicine works quickly.
