A traumatic morning.

[Candy]

She's eaten her tea from her bowl and has heroically managed a couple of chews! I think she'll probably be a bit more lively tomorrow.

Love her little heart

 

[Oberon]

Glad she’s gradually doing some more of her normal things...

The wound will be very swollen. It will shrink down a lot in time.

Obi got attacked once which left him with a wound of similar size (4 inches plus) but once healed it was less than an inch in length. You can faintly detect it when he has his summer coat.

Thanks, that's reassuring.

 

[Jacqui-S]

Glad our GGGJ is a bit perkier

 

[Cath]

Bless her, I hope you both have a good nights sleep

 

[Candy]

Bless her, I hope you both have a good nights sleep

I think we will, thanks!

 

[Candy]

Somewhat emboldened by Mags ' kind present of wine I've had a really good look at Joy's wound and it somehow doesn't look quite as scary any more, although still upsetting of course. Also it looks as if it's been glued rather than stapled.

 

[Oberon]

Poor lass.

Eventually it will be barely noticeable though it looks dramatic now.

Must hurt

 

[kateincornwall]

Poor lamb , bless her joyous heart , she will bounce back because she has you xx

 

[Jacqui-S]

She's a brave soldier, as is her Mum

 

[Stacia]

Poor little girl, that must be painful, although dogs are very resilient. I remember a dog coming into the surgery when I was in there alone, vet out on visit and a woman came in with the side of her dog ripped off, torn on a fence, dog didn't seem to care, owner shocked and I had to pretend to be completely calm!!!!

Animals are also initially unresponsive due to shock...they can seem unaffected when they’re really in a shut down, frozen kind of state.

I saw this dog through the stitching up and afterwards, he seemed fine fortunately.

 

[edzbird]

It is quite an horrific wound

 

[Atemas]

Aah poor Joy - nasty but looking as if it is healing

 

[Cath]

Poor girl

I think she has been a bit like this, poor sweetheart, although it's difficult to tell how much is due to the anaesthetic. I've seen her shut down like this before when she's been really poorly and frightened, so I'm less worried this time, but I still can't wait to get my funny, gentle, happy and playful girl back.

 

[Granca]

It looks as if it’s been repaired well and is healing nicely. Did the police suggest that you took any photos of the original wound? The rest will help it to heal, but I hope GGJ’s more bouncy soon.

 

[Candy]

No one suggested that, and I was so upset at the time that I never even thought to take a photo.
