The thing on his nose continued to grow, and we discovered another on his back. A trip to the vet was made last Monday morning before the ice shut everything down. After cleaning and shaving the two spots, you could see tiny, oozing puncture wounds all over the sores. The vet wasn't really sure what happened, but thinks he might have been attacked by some kind of nasty poisonous insect or spider. She gave him two shots of antibiotics and sent me home with two more weeks worth of pills. Two weeks after discovering the first one, both sores are still there. However, they look like they are healing, and I'm glad for that.
The funny part is that he has to wear a radar dish to keep him from licking his back, and a t-shirt to keep Monster from licking his back. Part of me feels really bad because he feels so yucky, but he looks so funny!

e-collars are my favorite--next to "diaper garments" for the funny. Except when you start getting bruises in the backs of your legs from the dog continually running into you...
poor little man!
The funniest part was when he was trying to walk past the couch and kept catching it on the arm. I finally had to go over and physically help him past.
