At the vet hoping last night we didn't tree our last coon! He hunted but wasn't acting right and at the tree I noticed he had a pocket of fluid under his chest, but he got the job done! It was worse this morning and has spread to his abdomen and genital area. I had to lift him up to get him in the box and he just bawled out in pain.
Here'sa pick of old Riggs laying the smack down!

Riggs is gonna be ok! Treated him for some type of spider bite they think a black widow. Give him antibiotic and benadryl and some anti-inflammatory and he's finally acting like himself. Hope to be back in the woods this weekend. Thanks guys
