In a joint effort, Jackson and Lucy had emptied it of doggy anti-inflammatories, which I discovered when I got home from work. Enough pills to cause serious kidney and liver damage. So the dogs spent three days at the emergency vet getting fluids flushed through them.
Fun! Expensive! I keep the bottle taped to the back door now, so I remember to do a sweep of the counters before I leave.

Poor Miss Lucy had completely sliced open the webbing between two toes while running around the yard and roughhousing with Jackson.

She has a splint to keep the pressure off the foot. I am not allowed to walk her for three weeks. She is also supposed to wear a cone 24/7 and be confined when I'm not in the house.
Well, the cone isn't going to be on while I'm around; it's simply not necessary. But I had to get out the big cage for when I'm gone. She's not going to be a happy camper.
Me neither.
OH NO!!! that definitely sucks. and that must have been so scary to see the puddles of blood!!!
ReplyDeletesending the patient a virtual doggie snack and hoping they stay out of trouble (at least until the leg heals!)
We had to put a cone on our cat, Fervor's head when he got his tail caught in the bathroom door and degloved about 4 inches of it. Such a pitiful state for an animal to be in. I am glad both dogs will be OK.
ReplyDeleteYour dogs are sooo cute! =)
ReplyDeleteOhh, poor pup. I've spent so much more time at the vet's than I ever did at the pediatrician when the kid was small... I hope she heals up quickly.
ReplyDeletePoor Lucy!! That's so cute where the dog is watching TV though ;o)
ReplyDeleteThat is so sad - I'm sorry for you! I hope that it all gets better quickly.
