Supragal Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 Out walking the dogs today, suddenly heard one of the screaming and yelping from somewhere in the undergrowth, we rushed in to find him and he was caught in a roll of rusty barbed wire, panicking and trying to pull his leg free. Jon grabbed him to try to keep him still while I unhooked him from the barbs. He's torn half of one of his pads off and has 3 stitches in the gash in his leg - stitched with no anesthetic too! Brave boy. Now we've just got to stop them pulling the stitches out. It doesn't half make your heart race hearing then scream like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supragal Posted September 9, 2007 Author Share Posted September 9, 2007 We've got a cone... that won't stop the other one though, he loves stinky things like cuts!! Worst bit is 2 weeks on lead walks, he's a nightmare if he doesn't get to run and burn off his vast amount of energy. To be fair it's an area the military use so I suppose they can leave what they like lying around. It was a massive roll though, like a fence but on the floor with the really long barbs.

Shadow Beast Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 Elmo my black lab has a sprained ankle at the moment and cant go out for a walk, the problem is when they are bored they get distructive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraStar 3000 Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 Poor thing Hope he's gets better soon. That look pets give you when in distress is heart wrenching isn't it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
