Hi All!
Just got back from the Emergency Vets. I was calling Pandora in this evening about 8pm and I heard her bell tinkling so I knew she was on her way but when she jumped off our small wall onto he path she yelped. I went over to pick her up. It was dark so couldn't see her properly, she felt sticky and wet underneath I though she'd been lying in mud. When I got her into the light I realised I had my hand on her flesh, the skin on her thigh was hanging loose
It was stripped to the muscle, as if it had been sliced.I wrapped her up quickly in a towel, she wasn't bleeding, was quiet and breathing ok. On quick inspection, she also had a chunk of fur taken from her back and 2 nasty blue bruises on her spine/ribs.
The on call vet is 20 mins away so I got there pronto. Haven't a clue what happened, no dog bites, only thing I can think of is she got stuck somewhere and struggled with glass or metal. Will probably never know.
The vet has given her painkillers and is keeping her in for X-rays under GA, suturing and IV antibiotics.
Poor baby, she was so good, very cooperative and patient.
I have to stay up til midnight to see how she is and then phone the vets. Such a worry
I'll post some pics of the damage when I put them thru photo bucket. Not too graphic!
Keep her in your prayers x
