Neighsayer Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 I was feeding the goats on Friday morning when I heard a yelp from the dog pen. The dogs all looked ok when I glanced over the fence. They were all walking around. No crying or limping. I figured someone stepped on a foot. When we all got in the house I found this: It looked like a bright red post-it stuck on his white fur: He spent several hours at the vet getting stitched up. 20 stitches inside and 20 outside. Now he looks like this: I still can't figure out what happened. The vet said a piece of the skin flap was missing. I searched the entire pen...no blood, fur, or skin. I think it must have been from running too close to a tree or the fence but I didn't see it happen. He is doing fine today. He can't reach it so it should heal fine. Mickey hurt himself yesterday so Suds wouldn't get ALL the attention around here. I was in the pen with him but took my eyes off him for a few seconds to pick up poop. I heard the scream and saw him limp but don't know what happened. Hope he just pulled a muscle. He isn't putting much weight on it today. Three of the dogs had shots this month and one is due next month. I think I'm buying the vet a new car! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
