Can't sleep. I think maybe I did briefly. Dangit, Larry, you're contagious! Lol.

I think something bit me ... the day before yesterday, let's see. Monday I guess, I noticed two odd black marks on my left leg just below my knee, on the inside. They didn't hurt. Close together, like a snake bite. I made a joke about them being snake bite. I thought maybe I had gotten abrasions from a tiny sand bur that might have fallen inside the top of my boot. Couldn't think what else it might be. Tuesday I noticed they were getting a bright red perimeter around them. Still no pain. Put Neosporin on them. No biggie. Last night, even brighter red and ... whoa. One of them was oozing a little pus. Still no pain or discomfort, but ... this seemed a little concerning. I sterilized an Xacto blade and proceeded to open them up. They were not scabbed exactly, but the skin over them was flat and black. Like ... dead, burnt almost. Necrotic? And underneath ... deep. But no odor. I thought ... brown recluse spider bite? Going to clinic tomorrow. This needs care. Meanwhile I packed them with activated charcoal and put a bandaid over them.

I hope you are ok and heal well!
 
They’re still puppies, right? Puppies usually get lots of booster shots and stuff. But I can’t imagine EVERY time you go in lol
I get them vaccinated at tractor supply because local vets don't take new clients. Tractor supply says one thing then when I took Butchy Boy for a first appointment before fixing they Said they require more. And he has to wait till a year old to get fixed because of the testicle remaining in the belly. They were booked so the nearest vet to take Betty to was 30 miles. I was afraid she'd go in heat if I waited. That vet added a vaccine morning of the surgery that tractor supply said she's up to date on. I'm getting confused what they actually need

Aggravating, to say the least!
