Gee, it's been fun lately...we went on vacation...a friend stayed at our house to watch the animals. Izzy somehow got out and went to the neighbor's house and was injured by their dog (who was tied up). Our dogsitter didn't think it needed treatment other than keeping it clean and our friends who also saw it said it was healing well. Then, the night before we got home, she ripped it open on her crate. So, when we got home at 8:00 at night on a Friday, this is what we found:

So, off to the e-vet we go. $700 later....(actually, the photo is from about a week later)

*sigh* But wait, there's more! I took the dogs in tonight for their annual vaccinations and for Izzy to get her stitches out. And the vet finds the little beauty below and says it's very likely a type of skin cancer. Since it was quite small, he recommended freezing it off so we did that (and yay, that was only $80!). So not only is Izzy accident prone, she's unlucky too. Ugh.

So, please keep Izzy in your thoughts. She needs it this month!

Yeah... in a way, it worked out, so you caught the skin cancer. Looks like a Melanoma. Keep us posted.

 

Poor Iggy! :grouphug

Ai yi yi. Hope pupper heals quickly and well!

 

Don't worry too much about the bump. We here have had lots of ugly looking ones, and they've all turned out to be nothing.

Holy cow!!! That must have been so traumatic to come home to! Hope she's feeling better soon!

Ditto. Hailey had one on her back---the vet put her on antibiotics, and it eventually dried up and fell off.

OH MY GOODNESS.... :blink::blink::eek

 

I CANNOT IMAGINE HOW SOMEONE COULD THINK THAT DID NOT NEED IMMEDIATE ATTENTION...

I AM SO SORRY THAT YOU HAD TO COME HOME FROM VACATION TO SEE THAT.

AND I AM SO SORRY THAT YOUR DOG HAD THAT HAPPEN TO HIM.

 

MANY PRAYERS FOR YOU AND YOUR PUP ON A SPEEDY RECOVERY.

Poor Izzy .....

 

That is one friend that would never be allowed to watch my animals again. :bugeye

 

Thank goodness Izzy went TO the neighbor's house (even though she was injured) - she could have been lost forever or hit by a car, running loose like that.

 

Wow - I'm sending you a BIG hug.

It is painful when you trust someone and they let you down.

and sweet Izzy is paying the price.

Oh my goodness, poor Izzy! Fingers crossed that the freezing worked just fine, and you won't have any more problems (you've had enough!)

OMG! :eek Poor poor Izzy! That horrible tear looks just like what happened to Spencer when Buzz got after him. And yes it was very expensive to get stitched up. Especially hard since the skin is so very thin! I hope the skin cancer was caught in time. It must be okay since the vet didn't want to surgically remove it. Hope Miss Izzy stays out of trouble for a while!
