Recent history - my 4 year old flatcoat retriever was taken seriously ill with haemorrhaging gastroenteritis (unknown cause, likely ingested a toxin) last Thursday and ended up admitted to a specialist veterinary hospital as an inpatient where he slowly recovered and was discharged on Tuesday. He has a follow up outpatient appointment this coming Thursday as he had slightly raised bilirubin levels so these will be rechecked
He has been well and back to his old self since discharge earlier this week, but I discovered this lesion on his leg today. It doesn't appear to be sore or bothering him. I have compared it to images of Alabama rot and it doesn't look sore enough? I am currently paranoid about his health since he was so sick with the haemorrhaging gastroenteritis (vets were concerned at one point that he might not make it)
Should I wait to the appointment with the specialist vets hospital on Thursday or does it warrant an appointment with my own vet tomorrow do you think?
Not sure what to do and don't want to overreact - but don't want to underreact either!

The doghouse
Could I have your opinions on how urgent this leg lesion is? (Photo included)
