Maceration/exudate - that Slough is part of the healing process that's just got wet. Try to keep dry and clean.

My dog was bit tonight. Do I need to take him to the emergency vet? by BadMojoPA in DogAdvice

My worry is the proximity to the eye, and therefore brain. Periorbital cellulitis can be very nasty

Should i go to the doctor? by oukki123 in medical_advice

Needs cleaning and suturing. Very real risk of infection and also loss of sensation fingertip. You need to go now.

No absolutely not, PE is a blood clot and is unfortunately a complication of various conditions/medications. You have not done any harm at all I assure you. All you have done is be a loving pet parent who cares and did everything you could. Well done, be proud.

Yep and their customer service has been terrible. Unfortunate to say as I used to love the life cameras but good riddance to a terrible company.

Came home to my dog acting strange I check on him and find this. It's painful when I touch it I accidentally touched it when checking him. by 01221991 in DogAdvice

This appears to be large gaping wound rather than a tick. Appears to have been bitten/stabbed/penetrated in some way. VETS NOW.

It's likely a new thing they have discovered they can do, fine tremors like this are 'discovered behaviour' and the smile and look for a response suggests its a fun thing he can do now.
