Scaredy cat

All good news so far. Gingk's wound is looking better and he is being more like his usual self. He gets his drainage tube out tomorrow which should be right as it isn't as drippy now. I'm going to get them to shave the matted bit were all the drips have dried on his fur. It won't hurt to have a little more shaved fur and it can't be good for his skin. I've tried washing it but he gets upset by that. So far so good! (Look how much he loves the camera! I swear he thinks its going to steal his soul!)

Phew! I know it looks gross but its good... it was just scary to take him in with a little bit of blood and have him come out with LOTS all over the place (and dripping on the floor! *gag*) It looks like the tube goes right through his neck... like one of those joke arrow or axe head-bands you can get! today he seems better than yesterday... I caught him peeking to see if I was looking at him and if he thought I WAS looking he put on the very sad face...when he thought I wasn't looking, he stretched a little to lick up crumbs on the bed! Dag

Yuck... drippy

My pooooor boy... here is the new damage. the skin had to be tacked back down where it had come away from the muscle and a drainage tube inserted. At least his is home now and sorta feeling happier...well, he ate this morning, went outside for a huuuge pee and had a big drink. Things MUST improve from here on in

Accidents happen. I'll get some pics of how he looks now... I just want to take him home and cry over him!!!

Oh no. I just went to visit him at the vets. He has been stitched up but looks 500% yuckier than in that pic! He is all shaved and dripping gunk and shivering and looking BAD. I just want work to end so I can take him home! :'(

Here is a close up...Ewww! PS I don't know what I would have done if I didn't still have my halti. It pays to keep them.

Hi all, My boy has a sore neck. It happened this morning and the wound doesn't look TOO big (for a greyhound, soft skin) but the problem lies under the skin. About a foot of skin around his neck has pulled away from the muscle and created a pocket of air and blood. The vet will insert a drainage tube through the puncture wounds when he stitches them.. but I'm worried. What are the chances that something might go wrong under there???
