8/16/24 Asher update. For everyone following his story and my posts, I want to let you know the swelling around his elbow was an abscess. It ruptured around 1am Wednesday morning and fortunately I was able to get him seen as an emergency. Thank you Moore Veterinary Hospital especially Dr. Henry, LVT Trisha, and all who assisted yesterday.

Asher lost a large portion of skin from his elbow down and this will hopefully heal without a soft tissue surgeon specialist. The staff are doing wet to dry bandages daily and he is on meds for pain.

We added in a special ordered antibiotic for broader spectrum coverage. This poor guy has been on antibiotics for 1 month already! We don’t know the cause of this abscess and we won’t know how he will do until we take it day to day. As much skin as possible was closed. Please keep prayers going and please send in a donation if you can. https://4paws1heart.org/donations/ Gina Asher is 13 weeks old and he has been through so much.
