he is covered in puncture wounds,to his legs, chest , neck and testicles and he has a bloodshot eye and a swollen snout and a bloody nose
fortunately he is mainly ok, aside from the puncture wounds and bruising, his lungs sound clear and both pupils are equally reactive
the vet gave him a couple of jabs and a course of medication to bring home , and the woman who owned the dog has paid for that
my two girls were walking him on the lead and on their way back to the house, when the woman pulled into her drive and opened the boot
at which point the gs jumped out of the car and went straight for eddie, grabbing him by the throat and shaking him about
dd1 was kicking the dog trying to get him off, and he tried to bite her, and the owner was doing the same, and suffered cuts to her hands as a result
dd2 is traumatised by it all,. cryiong and shaking replaying it in her head
and once again my vet has been fantastic, i rang just after they shut and when she heard what had happened she stayed behind to see eddie and check him out
once that was sorted she updated me wrt dora, and the one good thing today is that she is much more alert and her usual self
she has eaten on her own, every 2 hours, and everything is looking hopeful
in fact she said there is a possibility if she continues to improve , that we might be able to bring her home tomorrow evening, with a load of meds , so we can care for her at home
when i was talking to the vet receptionist waiting for the gs owner to settle our bill on the phone, dora heard my voice and started whining, so i went to see her and she was sitting up wagging her tail at me, pushing her paw through the crate to say hello
so its been quite a week here, one i wont be sad to see the back of tbh
i am really hoping she comes home tomorrow, then i can start breathing instead of holding my breath
