My gorgeous little man (8 month old cocker) was attacked by 4 dogs in our local field today.
He wasn't bleeding anywhere even though he was really bitten. I took him straight to the vet who checked him all over, his heart rate and temp was fine, she found a small graze, but said he was badly bruised as he was very uncomfortable when she touched him, she gave him a pain killer and a anti biotic.
This afternoon had been dreadful, he will hardly walk, he is just looking at the floor, won't eat treats, shaking really badly, I feel like a terrible mum, I promised him I would never allow anything to happen to him and I did.
He's currently a shadow of his usual self, I just want to cry.
What can I d to help him, how long does bruising pain last in dogs? When will he get his bounce back?
Will he always be traumatised by this?
Thank you :(
