i am taking him to a credible ARAV veteranarian tomorrow if they will accept him. idc what it costs i just wsnt to get good answers, one thing i failed to mention about the bumps is that they are fiilled with a white pus, ghat is something the previous vet did was extract the pus from some of them, i assume it may be a serious bacterial infection of somekind that has progressed severely.....if he is still alive in the morning and i pray he will be will be taking him to the credible vet in Sherwood Arkansas, im very thankful for the informative and intelligent people in this forum. i have been very upset and hard on myself about this.
