Daughter fine after surgery...Dog at the Vet Now

[Jimmy Snacks]

So I take Sadie out to the state park this afternoon for some well needed exercise for both of us and some mental health time for me......and it was going good for awhile. We were on our way back to the truck and Sadie was doing her thing and running around like a maniac when she bolted down a hill into some brush and I heard a yelp....first thought was a porcupine but no quills as she came back but she was limping so I thought maybe she just tweaked a paw or leg and then I saw the blood dripping into the snow and thought ah fuck....look on her chest and she is sliced open so I get on the horn with the wife and tell her to get the vet coming to the clinic and I scoop up Sadie and run her back to the truck.  Dr. Rob shows up and takes a look and says he'll call me when he is done....just got off the phone with him and she is OK..said he was able to get his whole hand in there and he found some wood pieces. Good news is that whatever it was it ran along her rib cage and didn't penetrate....stitches, drain and picking her up later tonight.....SMH.

Thanks gents....I was a little freaked out because it looked pretty damn deep and I wasn't sure if it had penetrated her rib cage or anything.

Can’t say it’s been boring for you Jim.

Here she is this morning looking sad and her stitches with the drain sticking out...Dr.Rob did a great job and glad he was available for emergency service.

[Zambroski]

Jesus!  Poor thing.  Did you ever find out what she ran into/across?

She will be as good as new in no time...its amazing how resilient dogs are most of the time.

Dr. Rob found some pieces of wood in there so I'm guessing she caught a stick just right and ran it right  into herself...fluke deal for sure but had it penetrated into her chest cavity I could have lost her right there and that would have killed me.

Yessir....the biggest challenge now is to keep her calm until she heals up.

Glad she's OK Jim.  She looks like a very active dog.

Im surprised they didnt give you a cone for her head so she wouldnt try to eat her stitches.

Thanks fellas and he gave me a cone but didn't think she would need it and so far so good. He suggested a kids t-shirt and tie it in the back.....worked well and caught the drainage form the drain.

Cones are useless.  Ours will have it off faster than zams pants in the men's bathroom
