Three weeks ago, Hero went in for surgery. His scar tissue has been abscessing and getting infected for the last 9 months. The infections are resistant to antibiotics. The poor boy has been uncomfortable for a long time. We went to a dermatologist who took biopsies to make sure he didn't have cancer. Then, he referred us to a surgeon.
The surgeon said she could remove the scar tissue and put the edges of the good tissue together. We hope this works!

| Hero came home the day after surgery. Most of his hair was shaved off! He couldn't lift his leg to pee. Poor kiddo. |
 |
| He was pretty groggy for a few days. It was the pain meds for sure. We needed to keep his activity to a minimum so the stitches would not rip. He seemed content with the kennel situation. |
 |
| After a few days, the bandages loosed and we got our first look at the stitches. He looked like Frankenstein! |
 |
| At two weeks post surgery, he had his stitches removed. He is healing up just fine! |
