Poor love. I was kicking and screaming at the bastard dog who was attacking him until he let go enough for our puppy to run away. He got him again, but not so badly. We know the dog, he's not people aggressive, but very dog aggressive and usually muzzled.
He's limping badly, but couldn't weight bare at all yesterday and his front leg ballooned where he had been bitten, enough for me to involve the vet. The vet gave him strong antibiotics (Rilexine) and Metacam. He got quite a large puncture wound. He have to have an xray if there's no improvement.
He's such a timid little soul anyway, I was dreading this happening. I keep welling up thinking about the attack 
and am sincerely hoping he will recover mentally, more than physically. I was quite shaken all day.
I just needed to share..
If you're worried about your pet's health, please speak to a vet or qualified professional.
The doghouse
My little ddog2 was bitten yesterday.

Oh dear moose Sorry your two are being less than their usual lovely selves.
I might just have to do this. Ddogs are used a lot of exercise, especially since we have just been on holiday, but seem ok so far on less.
It's more the fact my life is busy at the minute and a bit of a logistical nightmare anyway that makes me hesitant, but needs must I guess!
sodding - yep, dpony broke his leg last year, and the bone will take a full year to heal completely. The vet knows this, so was at pains to explain this fracture will be fully healed in 12 weeks, which amazed me. It's in a different place anyway, and obviously a cocker spaniel weighs less than a pony but I did see this as a positive
