I visited Pumpkin this morning at the vet's. They said that the infection in his leg and shoulder was getting worse, and that over a cup of fluid had already drained out so far that morning. He was still eating and alert and asking for attention. I did get some pictures which I've attached and which can also be seen at http://withoutqualification.com and http://ashtabulaapl.blogspot.com I have some that show the wound more closely but I'm not posting them here for the more sensitive viewers. I'm happy to share them with anyone who is interested. As of this morning the plan was still to do the leg amputation on Monday, but I just got a call that they had to do emergency surgery this afternoon to remove his leg because he was going rapidly down hill. The surgery went well. Currently is on IV meds and is being kept as comfortable as possible.
That's all I know at this point. I'll keep you guys posted. I'm sorry not to have better news.
Thanks so much for caring about Pumpkin. I sent him love from all of you when I got to visit with him this morning. He needs a lot of good thoughts right now, so please keep sending them his way.

thanks for the updates on Pumpkin. The little guy breaks my heart. we are pulling for him to recover fully & live the rest of his 8 lives in a loving home. i do hope they get the idiot who did this, but if not, they'll get what they deserve one day.
