Sometime during the night, the large lump in Maxx's "armpit" broke open (see entry on 8/8/06). Now he has a gaping hole that really looks ugly and is oozing puss.

So off to the vet we went. The vet clipped hair around the wound, and squeezed more puss out of it...all the time Maxx is screaming (if you've never hear a Basenji scream, it'll raise the hair on the back of your neck!). We were given some antibiotics to give him, and instructed to let Maxx take care of keeping the wound clean. Poor little guy...he hasn't had an easy couple of months!
