Aussie update!

August 18th, 2008 by A/C

Well folks you may or may not have notice my lack of visits and lack of comments…

Sorry all not my fault…

This is set to continue for probably another week or so.. Christ I hope not much more than that..

My Puppy with ear or lack of is the cause… on the weekend he scratch himself again on the chest but his little nails were so sharp he slices his chest open… yep.. I am swearing now.. so we dressed it and back to the vets… on the way he got his sock off and also sliced under his front leg (arm pit) he now has about 30+ stitches between these latest acquisitions…

Today he burst 2 stitches so has a lovely mess happening under his arm.. I cant get him to the vets until Wednesday at the earliest… so for the next week he is to eat, drink and wee, then get wrapped up like a baby and kept still…

You really should try keeping a 3-4month puppy still for a week.. with two other dogs wanting to play and a 9 year old with the standard needs …

Just thought I would fill you all in… not a-wall, although its a thought…lol…

catch you all as soon as we resume our normal programing….

Oh dear AC - thanks for taking the time to update us…

30 stitches can’t be pretty, or the trimmings that GO! with it so we hope a speedy recovery is on the way.

I feel badly for you and the puppy. If I lived closer, I’d offer you a hand. But, me in the US makes it kinda unreasonable. But, the thought is there.

Hi Aussie

Hope the little chap is feeling better soon. Despite the seriousness of the situation, your commentary still made me smile - kinda like putting an octopus in a string bag and keeping all its tentacles in. That’s how someone described putting a nappy on a baby once.

Aaah bless him.

If you require assistance AC, I can be there in about a week.

Let me know.

any time you feel like a visit Lib you are welcome…
at the moment I think I need to sedate him for about a week.. to let these heal he has ripped out 2 stitches simply by stretching… not nice.. he is now confined to the cat box for most of the time.. to try and give this time to heal up… the vet sometimes you have to be a little cruel to be kind.. and this is the only way to stop him jumping and playing which is how he will hurt himself again…. so hard …
I am actually scared to open the box in the morning and let him out for fear of what he has done over night.. so he is wearing 2 pairs of socks at night to stop any accidents with nails again..
thanks mate… all hands on deck…
