Guest GriffinsMom Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 I got a new foster, Dancer, on Thursday and apparently she has sleep aggression. All had been well until early this morning. Ava must have gotten up to get a drink and Dancer's bed is by the door. I woke up to some ferocious barking and Ava has four puncture wounds on her flank. The vet is open soon and I will be waiting at the door even thought I don't have an appointment. All the dogs are looking for their breakfast. Should I feed Ava or wait until after she sees the vet? To me it looks like she is going to need several stitches but I do not belive the wounds are bad enough to require surgery. Although, what do I know as I am not a vet?

CaliforniaGreys Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 (edited) Do you think the vet will just staple? If so, there's no need not to feed them. Even if it does require stitches, I would think a light sedation should be ok to use and feeding her still won't be a problem I hope she'll be ok Edited July 4, 2010 by cbudshome Quote Missing my little Misty who took a huge piece of my heart with her on 5/2/09, and Ekko, on 6/28/12 For the sick, the lost, and the homeless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Energy11 Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 Sorry to hear this. Oakly has sleep/space aggression, and when I first adopted him, he got Curfew a few times. We KNOW him by now. More than likely, it is OK to feed. They might just use a local shot to numb the area. Good Luck! Been there, done that, unfortunately!
