Vet has been, clipped his leg and found a tiny hole over his pastern, she thinks it is either a really bad case of cellulitis or an infection in the pastern joint. She didn't risk taking a sample from the joint due to the amount of swelling around it, she said she would end up introducing an infection if there wasn't already one there. So he had some intravenous antibiotics and painkillers, and I have some more to give him tomorrow, she wants him to be at least 50% better by tomorrow morning, otherwise she thinks it would be a joint infection
She has put him on the most expensive but strongest antibiotics, as she wants to treat it as if it is in the joint.
Thanks so much everyone for the vibes, keep them coming, I cant lose this one

You're not going to lose anybody- Don't you dare start thinking like that! Jerry is going to get the very best care, that I know you and the vets will give, and he is going to come round.
I am giving you virtual big squishy hugs MH, and you know where I am if you need to chat.
