Evening all! I'm after some opinions.
My 2 year old lab goes to daycare once a week. He loves it - trots off with them happy as anything and comes home muddy and shattered.
Yesterday when he was dropped off the girl told me that there'd been "a bit of an incident over a stick" and he'd been bitten on the ear. They cleaned it off, and sent me a text. The text didn't arrive until later that evening and says pretty much the same thing. I can see it was sent at 2.45pm. He was dropped off just after four, so an hour and a half after the incident. I took him straight to the vet - they tried to glue his ear back together but as it had been left so long the glue wouldn't take. He has a course of anti-biotics and if the bite doesn't heal they may have to cut away some of skin.
I was pretty annoyed at the lack of information, so I sent an email (they had all gone home by the time I got in from the vet) and asked what had happened. She replied today - apparently somebody threw one ball for my dog and another dog to chase. My dog caught it but the other bit him in order to get the ball.
I feel like this shouldn't have happened, and that I should be asking them to take better care of him, but realistically what can I expect them to do? They have about 3 dogs to each person so if they're going to play fetch this is likely to happen again. What would people request in this situation?
Half of me thinks that accidents happen and I should let it go, but the other half of me is screaming that this isn't right. Advice please!
