Well I am happy to report that Oliver is 100 percent better, no collar, no sock and bandage on the foot, and best of all, he is not going for the paw to lick or chew!!!...we are so excited, I was so afraid this was going to be one of those ocb things that he could have for life, but I took him to the vet yesterday for a look see, and he told me, he was fine. I knew that, lol, but he told me to finish the meds anyway, he has 4 days left, and to keep him on Benedryl for at least a month two 2x a day. I am doing the doodle dance around here, lol...thanks to all for all the help and support u gave me thru this...Oliie says ty too...And his fur is growing back too, still looks funny, but we will get there, lol...
