Part 4/8:
The vet begins by shaving part of Waldo's leg and draining fluid, which causes some discomfort but is necessary for diagnosis. Waldo is brave throughout the procedure, enduring the needle and the process of fluid removal. The veterinarian explains that the fluid collection is not a sign of anything serious and that Waldo's leg retains full functionality—he doesn't limp or lose use of the limb. After the procedure, Waldo receives antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medication, along with some pills that are likely to be flavored with hot dogs to make the process easier for him.
