Sometimes bad poo happens. It just does. Case in point. We are the proud owners of a slightly stupid but none the less wonderful almost 5 year old chocolate Lab. His "real" name (AKC name-Smith's Sir Oliver) but he is generally known as Ollie. As in Roly Poly Ollie...or Oshi, Pupperoni, Oshinia Jedidiah, Osh. He answers to all....including Perry's names for him, which I will not list here as the are not really appropriate.
Last Sunday, Ollie was frolicking in our front yard...yep, frolicking. Our neighbor's dog got loose and attacked Ollie, biting him and leaving quite a mess behind. I was very panicked and didn't get any pictures of the before so you'll just have to use your imagination......
He had to have a chest x-ray since the puncture was right over his lungs; then stitches on the muscle wall and staples on the exterior of the wound. He also had to have a drainage tube since there was a pocket created by the wound. The wound (skin) tore after a few days and we wound up not re-stapling it because the chance for a recurrence was very high.
Osh wound up wearing a tee shirt tied cheerleader style for the next two weeks while we irrigated the wound twice daily.
FYI...Ollie is SO not a clothes wearing dog. And
our neighbors were VERY responsible and apologetic.
Poo happens after all and if it is Ollie's poo..one never knows what you'll find.
So true! Because that dog eats EVERYTHING! But poor Osh! That awesomely dumb dog just has the worst of luck!
