So glad Bill is doing better and is on the mend. Sorry for my post above, I just realized by reading your first post again that the other dog was one of your dogs in the house. I thought this happened in the neighborhood - sorry for the confusion. Lots of hugs, kisses, and cookies for Bill today.

We are praying for Bill to have a swift and perfect healing. Give him some kisses for me. I am so sorry he had such a trauma. I would be Furious at that other dog too - how mean!! :angryfire Poor Bill!! Just baby him and make him the king of the house for a little while. :grouphug Let us know tomorrow, please. Sleep well.

When my Angel ran into the deck, I heard screaming and ran outside. She was limping. She had the exact same thing on her side. Exact lump. After a few hours, it went down and she was better. But I think it was a trauma from running into the deck.

Welcome!!! Can you post a pic of your wonderful new boy? Enjoy GT!!

Welcome and glad you are here! Beautiful babies!! Thank you for posting the pics. I just LOVE the Black Beauties!!! Have a wonderful life with your perfect babies!!!! :confetti

I had read that a stroke resulting from a blood clot was very very rare. I will never know what caused the seizure or what caused the stroke or why she went down hill so fast. The chincher was that she kept getting more and more disoreinted by the day. But what really scared me was as each day passed, she was losing her ability to eat. Had to resort to baby food on the third day, and then she was losing her abiility to drink the water! Her laps of water were getting slower and slower. She started to forget why she was standing at the bowl. It just wrenched my insides out!!!! By the fourth day, I took the baby in. I hope she was not too traumatized by the crazy e-vet giving her the morphine-based IV that caused her to hallucinate for three hours in which she was crying and shaking while she was laying on the floor!! The e-vet said she should not have given it to her had she known she would react to it like that. She stated that she did not have a crystall ball!!! Poor girl was much worse when I took her home the next morning from the e-vet. just bad memories!

Oh, yes, I forgot about the asprin. The next morning too. I know it is the dreaded "what if". Thanks.

What kind of clot was it? Was it a blood clot? How did you find it? Where was it?

I cannot stop thinking of my Angel baby who went to the Rainbow Bridge in January. Six days before that, when she and Bella were running in the back yard, and Angel ran into the deck and hurt her side, there was a big lump there that went away after a couple of hours. I administered some asprin to her in case she was bruised badly. Anyway, I called my vet office to ask if I needed to bring her in. She said to watch her and see if she gets worse with any pain or limping. Well, she was completely better by that evening. Well, it was two nights later during her sleep that she had a seizure at 10pm. That is when she was never right after that. She was so very disoriented and began losing her eating and drinking functions slowly. Always pacing and unaware of her left side. Went down hill fast, but no signs of pain. I was the one who researched online and figured out she had a stroke! Well, the day she crossed over, the neurologist stated that he strongly believed there was a blood clot that formed from her big bump six days earlier, and went into the brain. He said surgery in that case would not help her and he was concerned about how far down hill she had gone in her functions in the period since her seizure. My question is, that if I had taken her in to the vet right away after she had that bumb into the deck, and if the vet knew to take an image of her and found a clot, and if she administered blood thinner to my Angel, would she still be with me today??? The one vet tech at the e-vet told us that blood thinners dont really work that well in dogs. I cannot get it out of my mind.

Hi Alicia! I have been enjoying the weather. The blue birds have already claimed the house, and the finches are already nesting on the downflow pipe along side the house! The doves, cowbirds, cardinals, finches, starlings, thrushes, are enjoying the feeders in the back yard and the ground feeder. The robins are all over the yard in the am. In a couple of weeks, I put oout all the hummingbird feeders. We just love our bird sanctuary in the back yard. The bird pond has participants a lot now as well.

Thank you for the update. So glad Bow came through with the surgery. Now she will be a happy............. houndie!! Continued prayers and thoughts for her recovery.

Update. The bump is just some calcification and nothing serious. Thank you for all your support and prayes.

:hope

Today she is much better. I really do not feel anything at all anymore, nor do I hear anything. It seems the quick help you all gave me promoted a very quick recovery!! Thanks!

Happened to a foster dog here related to a puncture wound from another dog's tooth. Our little "Air Head" had the wound heal fine with no complications & eventually the air was absorbed. Until then though she tolerated her new nickname well. :lol - Poor Kid It is another world of education all together. It is amazing what I learn here on GT. :lol - My Hub is already calling her Air Pocket

First rubbed a little warm soapy water, rinsed it with warm water until soap residue was gone, added a touch of alcohol (before I read your post), than rubbed warm water over it with a cotton swab again. Scab is still there, but I wont bother it anymore. Tiny.

Excuse the bad typo errors here. I was typing faster than I could think, and the keys missed a few strokes.

You dear ones have relieved me to a great extent just now. I do thank you for your quick response to a panicked mama. I will put some peroxide on it or alcohol with a cotton ball. She has been in the back area today behinde the back yard and it is very possible she got poked with the bush twigs as they hhave no leaves yet - just the twigs. I dont know that, just guessing. Hubby had her while I was at shcool this evening. When I came home and said my hello's, I found it. The tiny scab is the size of like a pin head. Thank you, thank you!!!

There is a tiny tiny little scab on top that looks like it has been there since today. I have never heard of that. What is it??? Is she in danger?????

Just a couple of minutes ago, I was gently petting the top of Bellas head, and I heard the sound of bubbles - like soap bubbles. I also felt like the squishiness of bubbles on my fingers aas I was stroking her head. I looked closely in the light and with a magnifying glass, and NO soap, water, wetness , or anything else on the top of her head. Completely dry!!! But as I kkept stroking the top of her head, I still hear the tiny bubbles sound of like soapy bubbles, and feel the squishiness of a larger bubble. Right on the top of her head about 1.5 inches in ddiameter. Help. THis is strange and never encountered this before. She does not cringe or act like it hurts her at all.

As I am clipping Bella's nails, Hubby is on the other side of her (she lays on her side in her bed). He is stroking her head and petting her and cooing her the whole time. Well, she falls right to sleep!!! It is magic. She loves it. So I am able to clip her nails and then file them with a final buffing for smoothness.

How handsome Boomer is!! And your beautiful cat seems to love him too. Thanks for sharing. Welcome to Greytalk. :)

Italian Greyhound :lol Then a real Greyhound must be a........"biggy". :lol
