The vet called this morning and I pretty much told her what I wanted them to do. She was going to say something after I told her what was wrong but I kept talking. I knew she wasn't going to say anything I wanted to hear. I told her I want his paw cleaned with an antiseptic and wrapped. She agreed and that's exactly what's going to happen tonight, come hell or high water. I think it will heal much better if it's clean. I didn't bother putting the sock on again since it doesn't stay on long. The swelling is way down, almost back to normal and he's walking fine. It really doesn't seem to hurt and he's using it to touch people and hang on to the kitchen table when we're eating. The skin (or whatever it was) that was coming off yesterday is gone (I think I'll freak out if I find it in the couch months from now). I believe it was healing and he just undid that a little. Other than that, the incision on his belly looks really good so maybe he'll get to take the e collar off after tonight's visit!
Here's what it looked like 2 days ago. It's a little smaller now.
