Over night there has been an update on Ace and his injury. Sadly it’s a bit of bad news.
“We have an update regarding Ace’s injury.
Although it is improving, it has not fully healed yet. If SENASA were to inspect him today, they would see the injury and would not approve the issuance of the health certificate.
For this reason, we believe it would be best to reschedule his trip for at least one week later and continue with his treatment until the wound is 100% closed and healed.
The little one is under constant supervision. He’s in great spirits and eating well. We’ll continue to keep you updated on his progress and health. He’s such a sweet, lovable little guy. ❤️”
It was pointed out that “It looks like he has chewed his paw too.”
They replied:
“In fact, it looks wet because we cleaned the area this morning.
I can confirm that he has not been chewing his paw, as he has been wearing the cone, and we only use the boot when we are not able to keep an eye on him.
We are trying to keep him without the boot as much as possible, while keeping the cone on at all times, because the boot causes his paw to sweat excessively, which does not help the healing process.”
Can’t say I’m more than a little disappointed with the delay. It does mean there is a high likelihood that this now overlaps with my ex-wife (who is paying for all this) being out of the country. Which adds a further complication that isn’t insurmountable. Just inconvenient.
Let’s finish this update with some more photos of Ace that were also shared with the bad news.
